Our 3rd annual collaboration with Montpelier Pride – 4 films on Sunday, June 2nd
There will be two additional film screenings featuring discussion on June 6th and 18th
New York City’s Stonewall Inn is regarded by many as the site of gay and lesbian liberation since it was at this bar that drag queens fought back against police June 27-28, 1969. This documentary uses extensive archival film, movie clips and personal recollections to construct an audiovisual history of the gay community before the Stonewall riots.
Discussion to follow led Keith Goslant and Kris Hunt, sponsored by Barre Pride
