+++++ Stonewall: The Movie +++++
The only actual movie about the Stonewall Era and the Stonewall Rebellion
was originally filmed in 1994 and released in 1996. In time for Gay Pride
Month, the entertaining movie has been remastered and is available on DVD!
The STONEWALL Veterans Association is acknowledged in the film's "credits"
for our factual Stonewall experiences recreated in the film. The S.V.A.'s
director Williamson (also in "credits") arranged for the Stonewall veteran
'testimonials' which are prominently featured at the beginning of the film.
