It’s fifty years since members of the LGBT+ community gathered outside New York’s Stonewall Inn to protest against police harassment, the perfect opportunity to shine a spotlight on LGBT+ life in America today

It’s fifty years since members of the LGBT+ community gathered outside New York’s Stonewall Inn to protest against police harassment, the perfect opportunity to shine a spotlight on LGBT+ life in America today. The three films in this programme take us from the romantic streets of Brooklyn, via a young intersex person’s encounter with a cowboy in New Jersey, to a wildly dysfunctional Ghanaian-American baptism. This is America.
