It's the summer of 1969 and the death of film icon Judy Garland has emboldened her LGBT+ followers. A routine police raid on the Stonewall Inn explodes in to a violent riot, the catalyst of the modern LGBT+ civil rights movement. In this engaging story, this historic confrontation reveals unlikely revolutionaries, caught in the turmoil and fighting to claim "I was there."
