What a great film.
To see what drives a man to effectively dedicate himself to fighting the injustice against LGBT people unfold has been wonderful. So much has changed and this film slickly replays and captures, at pace - not a dull moment, the story of the World's no1 protester of our time for LGBT rights. Seeing the old news clips, the way the film is constructed with music underpinning parts of the narrative in a mischievous way. To see Jimmy Somerville, Peter Tatchell and Sir Ian McKellen interviewing Peter and in news clips. This could have been an eight-hour film with the topics touched upon - the film-maker has at pace moved through the headlines and combined that with personal backstory interviews a footage to build a more rounded picture of a man many fear and many more others adore. Things in many ways have got better for LGBT folks in many Countries, with more work still to do. If Emily and Sylvia Pankhurst could only have had a film made about their work like this? We live in a fairer society with thanks to their influence. The film really does pay a tribute to a lifetime of work by a human rights activist and captures this for all time for future generations to understand. Love him or loathe him - the film is a solid watch to see.
