Remembering Stonewall

Initially broadcast on the 20th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, this documentary is the first — in any medium — to recount them. It weaves together the perspectives of the participants, from Deputy Inspector Seymour Pine, who marshaled the raid, to Sylvia Rivera, one of the drag queens who battled most fiercely that night.

The first documentary to foreground voices from Stonewall was, not surprisingly, an audio one, created by Dave Isay in 1989 for Sound Portraits Productions, which later became better known as the invaluable oral history resource (and nonprofit) Storycorps. Storycorps has long been dedicated to preserving the voices and histories of everyday people. This documentary lnk also includes a transcript, so one can listen as well as read. Those Stonewall voices here include Stonewall veterans Martin Boyce, Sylvia Rivera, Mama Jean,  and Robert “Birdy” Rivera, as well as other observers and LGBTQ people from the time.
