"PRIDE" is a documentary series chronicling the struggle for LGBTQ+ civil rights in America from the 1950s through the 2000s. Seven renowned LGBTQ+ directors explore heroic and heartbreaking stories that define the United States as a nation. The series spans from the FBI surveillance of homosexuals during the 1950s Lavender Scare to the "Culture Wars" of the 1990s and beyond, exploring the queer legacy of the civil rights movement and the battle over marriage equality. The evolution of trans rights and identities through the decades is charted through interviews and archival footage of pioneers, including Christine Jorgensen, Flawless Sabrina, Ceyenne Doroshow and many others.

3/5
This FX production has its heart in the right place but its eyes twitchily on the clock. It's a brisk enough proposition, and undemanding enough. Go to Full Review Jochan Embley London Evening Standard 06/24/2021

It's raw, sobering, heartbreaking and invigorating; a reminder of how much has been lost and gained in the past, and how much change still needs to be realized. Go to Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com 05/17/2021

johann m @Johann33 06/30/2022 ENLIGHTENING! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ This six-part documentary miniseries revolves around the fight for LGBTQ rights in the United States decade-by-decade. It is inclusive and informative and it chronicles all the struggles this community has had to endure throughout the years and that have made it increasingly stronger, from the riots and revolutions of the 60s and the devastating effects of the AIDS epidemic to the fight for inclusion, visibility, BLM and trans rights, and the acceptance gained in mainstream media. See more 05/11/2022 Thotho M is an idiot, I'm giving 5 stars just to counter their 1 star review saying they think all documentaries are boring. Reviews should have a Report feature. See more 11/07/2021 I dont like the fact that its a documentary, if it was a movie i would have so much fun, documentaries for me are boring See more 05/26/2021 I think this series is amazing!
