Screaming Queens: The Riot at Compton's Cafeteria

In 1966, a pivotal moment in American civil rights history unfolded at Compton's Cafeteria in San Francisco's Tenderloin District, long before the infamous Stonewall uprising of 1969. The courageous trans women and gay men who bravely resisted police harassment and oppression are now being given the recognition they deserve, thanks to the pioneering work of directors Susan Stryker and Victor Silverman. This groundbreaking documentary sheds light on a significant chapter in LGBTQ+ history, one that has been largely erased from the record - until now.
