"An oral history of local activities, bars, politics and organizations from the 1960s to today" 11 October 2022 Factual 93 mins
While many people have fond memories of summer excursions to Ocean Beach Park, this documentary takes a look at another side of New London and the rich history of the LGBTQ community. From early gay bars, to the impact of the AIDS/HIV epidemic, and everything in between and beyond, the film explores the intersectionality of race, gender, sexuality and religion, and other aspects of queer life from 1960 to the present day, with a special focus on notable queer civil rights activist Bayard Rustin.
