"Swivels glitteringly to life!"
- The New York Times

In 1969,
Some marched for peace,
Some marched for equality,
They marched for love.

From Nigel Finch, Executive Producer of Paris is Burning, comes a new film with love in its heart, respect on its mind, and pumps on its feet.

With a great soundtrack featuring the music of the Shangri-Las, Patti Labelle and Judy Garland, Stonewall mixes a lip-syncing chorus with a "Midnight Cowboy" sensibility.

Its story follows Matty Dean, a self-made hustler who moves to New York's Greenwich village to find himself. Instead, he finds love with a transvestite named La Miranda, rage with the attitudes of the local police, and an absolute belief that one man can make a difference.

Stonewall. The characters may be fictional. But the story is real. This was the night when america came out of the closet.
