| Info: | Divergence Movie Night is a free monthly series presenting independent GLBTTQ movies. June 26th: SCREAMING QUEENS: THE RIOT AT COMPTON'S CAFETERIA "Screaming Queens tells the little-known story of the first known act of collective, violent resistance to the social oppression of queer people in the United States — a 1966 riot in San Francisco’s impoverished Tenderloin neighborhood, three years before the famous gay riot at New York’s Stonewall Inn. Screaming Queens introduces viewers to street queens, cops and activist civil rights ministers who recall the riot and paint a vivid portrait of the wild transgender scene in 1960s San Francisco. Integrating the riot’s story into the broader fabric of American life, the documentary connects the event to urban renewal, anti-war activism, civil rights and sexual liberation. With enticing archival footage and period music, this unknown story is dramatically brought back to life. Screaming Queens is a production of Victor Silverman and Susan Stryker produced in association with ITVS and KQED, with funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting." Free Admission, $5 suggested donation. Doors @ 7pm. Taking place at the auditorium of the Main Branch Library, Metcalfe and Laurier.
