American Experience: Stonewall Uprising - Tuesday, October 25 at 7 p.m. A first-person account of the riots that launched the modern-day LGBTQ civil rights movement. The power in Stonewall Uprising comes from not only the young people involved, but the policeman who was the leader of the raid. Filmmakers Kate Davis and David Heilbroner spend the first half of the film reminding us of the way society viewed homosexuality in the late 1960's. Once those facts are established clearly, then the real beauty of the film emerges. There is so much detail and personal narrative; a tribute to the many heroes who are still alive to tell their story. For more information, please contact Philip Bahr, Reference & Media Librarian, at (203) 254-4206 or e-mail pbahr@fairfield.edu.
