Hope Along the Wind: The Story of Harry Hay(2002)
Harry Hay was one of the founding fathers of the gay rights movement, and for more than 50 years was synonymous with the term "gay pride." Director Eric Slade's documentary about Hay looks at both his life and the movement he did so much to define. In 1948, Hay founded the Mattachine Society in Los Angeles; the goal of the organization was to establish a "Golden Brotherhood," one that sought to redefine homosexuality as a normal, healthy way of life. The problem, Hay famously maintained, was not homosexuality itself, but the way it was treated by society. Dramatizations, photographs, archival footage, and interviews with original Mattachine Society members are all incorporated to tell Hay's remarkable story, one whose legacy continues to be felt in the treatment of gays and lesbians in culture today.

By the late 50s, camera equipment was affordable and readily available, so amateur "Blue" movies were produced in abundance. This collection turns up the "raunch" factor considerably. The camera lingers on the naked bodies, slowly covering every square inch of fleshy real estate. Bizarre camera angles abound as well as unbelievable close-ups where a crotch or a nipple fills the entire screen. Obviously, there is never a shortage of beautiful models prepared to go before the cameras and leave absolutely nothing to the imagination!
