Rights and Reactions: Lesbian & Gay Rights on Trial

Country: United States, Language: English, 56 mins

  • Director: Jane Lippman; Phil Zwickler

CGiii Comment

''Rights and Reactions: Lesbian and Gay Rights on Trial,'' by Phil Zwickler and Jane Lippman, is a straightforward record of the 1986 New York City Council hearings on the gay rights bill, which, after 16 years, was finally passed. Mr. Zwickler and Ms. Lippman are committed but self-effacing reporters who allow their subject to shape the film.

''Rights and Reactions,'' 56 minutes long, recalls the sometimes unruly hearings in the passionate testimony of the speakers, pro and con. Religious conservatives (Christian and Jewish) constantly interrupt the bill's supporters, who, speaking with impatience accumulated over the years, are (not surprisingly) far more persuasive.


There was a trailer...but, it has since disappeared.
