Synopsis

This compilation of archive footage illustrates the history of LGBT lives, cultures and communities in Britain. With films spanning from 1909 to 1994, it documents a period in which homosexuality went from being a criminal offence to annual Pride celebrations, capturing the decades-long campaign for political change, and the shifting attitudes to LGBT people across the country through an engaging, often humorous collection of documentary material and short film. This is a moving and important programme, encompassing both the public fight for basic human rights and more personal, deeply moving stories, culminating in the right to proudly proclaim who you are.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."
