New York, Christopher Street, on the night of June 27-28, 1969: homosexuals and trans people resolutely defy the police in the Stonewall Inn bar, who want to clear the place. Their uprising and the ensuing protest riots are considered the big bang of queer self-confidence and a turning point in the fight for recognition and equality, which has been commemorated every year since then at the Christopher Street Day parades.
With the help of film clips and photos, but above all anecdotes, stories and events from "ordinary gay people", this multi-award-winning film, now a classic, brings to life everyday homosexual life before the Stonewall riots of 1969: a living document of a hidden history, full of humor and irony and sometimes sadness, showing the history of queer people becoming visible in American society.
