Too seldom told is the story of Los Angeles' rise as a mature gay mecca, but its struggles and achievements have been many. In this stirring documentary, 10 noteworthy gay and lesbian seniors recall the challenges, trials and triumphs of the city's gay past. From hidden identities, underground parties and police raids, to organization, defiance and leadership, the details of this story reveal its sweep and grandeur and remind us of the advancements we can't afford to take for granted.

IN COLLABORATION WITH: CHRISTOPHER STREET WEST ASSOCIATION, INC. (CSW) and SENIORS SERVICES DEPARTMENT, THE L.A.GAY AND LESBIAN CENTER
