CGiii Comment
This is an ambitious film on a tight budget.
It does, unfortunately, feature some really bad wigs and dubious production values.
Some good performances raise it from mediocrity and a fine and moving story is told.
Try and ignore all that fake hair.
It could have been a powder keg.

The(ir) Blurb...
When 19-year-old gay-rights activist Tommy and 24-year-old Alan first meet in 1973, they find themselves on the opposite sides of the political coin. Despite their many differences, they form a loving long-term relationship. In 1977, during Anita Bryant's crusade, an anti-gay book Alan wrote years before gets published without his consent. The book destroys Tommy's credibility as a well-known activist, resulting in Tommy and Alan's break-up. Seven years later, Alan is given a second chance, a reunion with Tommy and the opportunity to set things right.
