Age of Dissent is one of those documentaries that gets under your skin. It’s raw and unfiltered, documenting a pivotal time in the fight for equality in the UK. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, allowing you to really soak in the struggles faced by activists. The film juxtaposes the fight for the gay age of consent with a visit to Russia, which adds a layer of urgency and contrasts the cultural climates. The interviews are candid, often emotional, revealing personal stories that embody the broader struggle. There’s a certain grit to how it’s shot, which feels authentic to the movement it portrays. Definitely not your polished, mainstream documentary, but there's so much heart and passion in every frame.
