About This Movie
Compton's '22 is a fascinating documentary that dives into a largely forgotten moment in LGBTQ+ history. The film captures the raw energy and defiance of a group of trans women in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district during a riot against police brutality in 1966. It’s not just the events that are striking, but the tone—it feels urgent yet reflective, as if the past is imploring us to listen. The pacing ebbs and flows, interspersing historical footage with present-day interviews, creating a haunting connection between then and now. The practical effects are minimal, but the emotional weight of the stories shared feels monumental. It’s a crucial piece for anyone interested in the evolution of queer rights and the resilience of marginalized communities.
