Pride month is upon us and what better time to explore the history of the LGBTQ + movement?
From June 25 on Disney’s Star Plus will be available Pride, a docuseries that tells the protagonists, events and claims of organizations for the civil rights of people LGBTQ+. The narrative starts from the 1950s up to the present day: 70 years in which a lot has changed thanks to the obtaining, for example, of same-sex marriages or anti-discrimination laws.
The series, consisting of six episodes each shot by a different director belonging to the community, combines archive footage and direct experiences of various protagonists. From Audre Lord a Bayard Rustin passing through Susan Stryker e Kate Bornstein. The goal is to tell how what we have today in terms of recognition of rights is the result of years of struggles and political activism. For example, the first episode focuses on the so-called phenomenon of Lavander scare, literally the scare of lavender, which in the 1950s led to the mass firing of homosexuals because they were considered dangerous and harmful to national security. Other episodes, however, will address the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, the first Gay Pride or the historic decision of the Supreme Court American to recognize homosexual unions.
The episodes, produced and realized together with Fx e Vice, have already aired in United States where they received a good return from the public who appreciated the precision and attention dedicated to certain themes and to certain central figures for the movement LGBTQ+.
Absolutely not to be missed to learn more about history and understand what is still possible in the present.
