Independent Visions: Screaming Queens: The Riots at the Compton’s Cafeteria

Before heading out to L.A./West Hollywood LGBT Pride in a few weeks, arm yourself with some knowledge. It was transgender communities that paved the road to resistance that led to the liberation of queer communities. Screaming Queens documents the organized protests in San Francisco that happened three years before the well-documented Stonewall Inn protests in NYC. Directed by Susan Stryker, 2005, 58 minutes.
