This ground-breaking documentary explores the history of the gay and lesbian movement up until the pivotal moment in 1978 when Sydney's first Mardi Gras protest march for gay rights ended in a riot and over 50 people arrested.
It is a "detailed examination of the Sydney street clashes, intimidatory and provocative anti-gay behaviour of the New South Wales police force, and the angry response of Sydney's gay community"
