Iris Prize Shorts 5 – Looking Back
If those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it, these documentaries offer a vital lesson in remembering LGBT+ history. Powerful personal testimonies take us back to fascist persecution in 1930s Italy, Britain before the Sexual Offences Act of 1967, and America in the early days of the HIV and AIDS crisis. Though often harrowing, they’re an important reminder of the resilience and bravery of those who went before us, and a beacon of hope for those still enduring prejudice and persecution.
