How it feels

This documentary covers the LGBT rights movement from the 1960s onward. It starts with the Stonewall riot in New York and shows how activism spread to cities like San Francisco, Paris, and Amsterdam. Through interviews with people who were there, it talks about events like the first Pride parade, Harvey Milk's election, changes in French law, the AIDS crisis, and the fight for marriage equality.
