CONTENT WARNING:

A group of gay friends try to live with dignity and self-respect while events build to the opening battle in the major gay rights movement.

This film is presented in English with English subtitles.

This exuberant film from the director of The Lost Language of Cranes is a fictionalized account of Martin Duberman's Stonewall and centers on the tale of a gay country boy who arrives in New York City by Greyhound in the summer of 1969, only a few weeks before the riots that would change the gay world forever.

A compelling documentary in which the director along with others, including filmmaker Terrence Davies, recall personal stories of father-son relationships that range from complete rejection to reconciliation. Coming out stories figure prominently in the interviews.

This feature documentary explores the roles of the son and the father in western, patriarchal culture. Hi-8 home video, snapshots, dramatic archival footage and poetic and expository sequences blend with the moving testimonies of fathers and sons to form a sometimes humorous, sometimes troubling series of portraits of contemporary relationships
