Movie Info

Paragraph 175 interviews the few surviving homosexuals who endured unspeakable horrors under the Nazi regime. Through the testimonies of these men and woman, an untold chapter of the Holocaust unfolds. It is extremely painful for these survivors to recall what they went through, and their expressive silences speak volumes.

Unrated, 1 hr. 21 min.

One of the most moving interviews is with Pierre Seel.

The reason to watch is the firsthand testimonies themselves.

An exquisite and powerful documentary -- one whose elegance only heightens its devastating impact.

Importante documentário que, embora burocrático em sua estrutura, traz depoimentos fortes e comoventes, revelando aspectos pouco divulgados sobre os horrores da Segunda Guerra.

Illuminating, eloquent, harrowing and, at times, surprisingly humorous account of the untold story of the Nazi persecution of homosexuals of the Third Reich.

It's a provocative subject, but one that is undermined by directors Jeffrey Friedman and Rob Epstein's overly narrow focus.

Pretty rough but worth the watch.

I've viewed other survivors, in other films, but the difficulties with the survivors in this film was a little different. The Holocaust is an awful event that happened. It wasn't just jews put to death, gays, christians too. We hear what it was like to be gay during this time period. How much fun they had before
