This is the first comprehensive history lesson brought into everyone's home via network television. It is very hard to compress decades and decades of history and movement into an 8 hour mini-series, but the producers of this have done very well. Unfortunately, network television today doesn't have the same exposure, so it wouldn't have the same effect had this ran in the 90's or 80's, but the point is that it was time to finally see something that portrayed the real events that have happened in the past half century in the march toward equality. Bravo!
-
It just a mini-series trying to take advantage of the anti-trump It over dramatize and irrelevant.
-
A beautiful testament to the struggle for LGBTQ rights!
-
This show is pure rubbish!
-
Piece of garbage show. Goes to show what happens when the sole reason for making a show is to lecture to "stupid, red state homophobes." I don't choose entertainment that is trying to teach me a lesson.
-
absolutely stunning!
-
As a gay millennial, this show is a must see, an expanded version of MILK, everyone must see this. Great acting, historically accurate and very important.

At such a time in the USA and the world where the LGBTQ community still faces discrimination and violence against us this miniseries came along at a perfect time. I cried alot of sad and happy tears along with so many others who viewed #WhenWeRise that my face was tomato red all week lol. With such a bigot as potus right now WE all need to come together and continue to fight for our rights. And the mini series and Cleve Jones is right...One struggle. One fight. I highly recommend this miniseries become a staple in helping educate the people and older people just what the LGBTQ life is and how much we've had to fight for equality along the way. 5 out 5 stars most definitely!

The writing and acting in this series has been amazing thus far. It's emotional and heart-rending, and it's a reminder of just how far this civil rights issue has come since its inception. The bravery shown by these people is inspiring.
