Interesting doc on the making of the 1968 play The Boys in the Band. It was ground-breaking at the time...released a year before the Stonewall riots...and helped pave the way to bringing basic civil rights to the gay community.
Sadly, many of the people involved in the play and subsequent film used their new-found liberation in the seventies to have indiscriminate sex and ended up dying in the first wave of the AIDS epidemic. Life is filled with little cruelties.
