A sequel to the Emmy award winning Before Stonewall, the film chronicles the history of lesbian and gay life from the riots at the Stonewall Bar in Greenwich Village in 1969 to the end of the 20th century. After Stonewall tells the story of a community that forever changed the way America and the world would view not only its homosexuals but itself, and begin questioning its own fundamental values with regards to family, work, religion and relationships. The filmmakers interviewed more than 200 people for the film, including authors Armistead Maupin, Rita Mae-Brown and Dorothy Allison. Archival and never-before-released footage, including personal videos and 8mm home movies capture the immense scope of changes that the gay and lesbian community has experienced and instituted since the riots in 1969.
