Description

New York City's Mafia control of gay bars created this archival, imaginative deep-dive into the story of the 5-night-long 1969 rebellion in Greenwich Village. It uncovers tales of Mafia-police corruption, queer resistance, and the birth of the Gay Liberation Front. Stars such as Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, Stormé DeLarverie are pictured. Prepare for inspiration and anger. Know your legacy, seize your power, ACT UP, and FIGHT BACK!
