Fascinating. I only wished the “homosocial” society from then last until now. I’d love to see this as a limited series.

Fascinating heartfelt and important. It shows the potential for a hidden queer history that reinstates how important a community we are and have always been. Beautiful film, incredibly handled and presented.
