CGiii Comment
Essential viewing. Heart-breaking history. Lives needlessly lost.
Hold those accountable to account, name and shame them, they maliciously wrecked lives and to think they are enjoying their retirement...they should be stripped and birched.
An outstanding film that really deserves to be made into a feature.

This creative documentary immerses us in a little-known chapter of gay history. In 1992, the Isle of Man was one of the last places in western Europe to decriminalise homosexual acts.
Through verbatim reconstruction and newly discovered archives, we understand the impact of discriminatory parliamentary debates, controversial media coverage and overreaching police surveillance. In a short period of time, this corner of the British Isles went on to create some of the most progressive legislation in the world. Do people change, or do laws change people?
