Pride Month — ‘Stonewall Uprising’ Documentary and Discussion (In-Person)

Registration Required Below

This program is co-sponsored with Bethel CT Pride

When police raided the Stonewall Inn, a popular gay bar in the Greenwich Village section of New York City on June 28, 1969, the street erupted into violent protests that lasted for the next six days. The Stonewall riots, as they came to be known, marked a major turning point in the modern gay civil rights movement in the United States and around the world.

This 90-minute PBS documentary traces the evolution of the American gay rights movement, explains the circumstances surrounding the uprising, and discusses the event’s enduring legacy.

Following the film, audience members are invited to share thoughts and observations during an informal 30-minute roundtable discussion.

Recommended for ages 16 and up (Common Sense Media)
