Before Stonewall

Directed by Greta Schiller & Robert Rosenberg

The history of the Gay and Lesbian community before the Stonewall riots sets the stage for the early struggles and triumphs of the gay rights movement.
Before Stonewall is an invaluable piece of gay history, gathering first-hand memories of life before the 1969 uprising transformed the modern rights movement. The documentary is straightforward in form, but the testimony is fascinating, funny and often sobering. Its greatest strength is allowing people who lived through those decades to reclaim their own history.
