SYNOPSIS --
144 words
New York has
Stonewall, San Francisco has Harvey Milk, and Los Angeles has AB101.
Into the Streets chronicles one of the most significant events
in Los Angeles queer history: the 1991 AB101 demonstrations. The
spontaneous, historic series of passionate marches and rallies protested
the California governor’s veto of AB101, a modest gay-rights
bill.
“It was
the height of mobilization, at the height of the AIDS epidemic,”
LGBT activist Torie Osborn says in her interview, an atmosphere
that enveloped and engaged all factions of the LGBT movement in
the protests. From a Queer Nation hunger strike in the heart of
West Hollywood to a police riot in Century City to rallies at UCLA
and Los Angeles Airport to a checkbook activist’s brutal beating
by Los Angeles Police in Woodland Hills, Into the Streets tells
the whole story with riveting first person accounts and archival
footage.
