Stonewall Uprising

I saw Stonewall Uprising at Film Forum the other day and was deeply moved. I'm aware that there is another documentary, Before Stonewall, that covers the same ground, but I've never seen it.

Stonewall Uprising is about the 1969 riots in the West Village, and it contextualizes the events by painting a grim picture of what it was like to be gay in America in the United States. It relies heavily on creepy footage from a CBS program that warns people about the dangers of homosexuals.

The film made me feel so proud of the men who fought back that night, and really put the Gay Pride Parade (taking place tomorrow) in a very powerful context.
