Written and directed by Victor Silverman (Pomona History Department) and Susan Stryker (Transgender Scholar/Activist), Screaming Queens tells the little-known story of the 1966 riot in San Francisco's impoverished Tenderloin neighborhood, when transgender prostitutes and gay hustlers banded together for the first time in U.S. history to fight against police harassment. This unheralded event helped kick off a new movement for human rights in America.
