Can't Miss Snapshot of Civil Rights Success
Director Robert L. Camina chronicles a small city police force's raid of a gay bar on the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots. The Raid that threatened to set back human rights in Fort Worth, Texas because an example of peaceful resistance, the effective use of mainstream and social media, and of the power of compassion and decency to change the culture in one of the reddest cities in one of the reddest states. This film is a testament in the American human rights struggle. Camina follows the bar's patrons -- including a former journalist, a certified public accountant, and straight woman caught up in the turmoil while out with her boyfriend through an evening that changed their lives and their struggle to find both the answer to why it occurred and the way of ensuring that it never happens again. The film also watches a new police chief learn quickly how to create a poor first impression. This documentary is a must see again and again.
Compelling reporting by a skilled documentary
Robert Camina has produced a compelling, emotional, yet, in my opinion, an even- handed presentation of the events at the Rainbow Lounge. It is obvious that the final investigative results were not completely satisfying to the LGBT community, but I think, as a few of the interviewees stated, it was as good as they were going to get, and the task at hand was to move forward. I feel it's a tribute to Robert that he did summarize by pointing out the progress that had been made later. I'm very proud of Robert's work on this project and am honored by the strength and determination of the members of the Fort Worth LGBT community.
Awful, boring, redundant
This documentary is supposed to move you, I assume. But all it did was irritate me, Arresting 6 people at a night club is nothing new for gay or straight people and is certainly not a reason to make such a mess. Typical gay rights propaganda irritating BS. I have a gay cousin and I am all for gay rights but this is what rubs people the wrong way. Should they have raided the club? of course not. Is police misconduct and brutality a huge problem is this country? YES. But what happened that night at the rainbow lounge is nothing compared to what happens on a daily basis in inner cities. It did not deserve a documentary nor did it deserve all the marching, screaming, chanting, death threats and BS that the LGBT community vomited all over Forth Worth. Orlando deserves a documentary- NOT THIS LAME EXCUSE FOR BRUTALITY!!!!
