2005 ยท 57 mins

The first major uprising against police brutality, harassment, and societal oppression was not at Stonewall in 1969, but at Compton's Cafeteria in San Francisco three years earlier. Those who stood up were trans women and gay men. Now, nearly 40 years on, Susan Stryker and Victor Silverman tell the story of this oft-overlooked event in the history of American civil rights.

Directors: Susan Stryker, Victor Silverman

Cast: Susan Stryker, Aleshia Brevard, Tamara Ching, Felicia Elizondo, Amanda St. Jaymes
