Synopsis
Cherry Grove, a vibrant community on Fire Island, has been a refuge for gay men, lesbians, and drag queens since before the Stonewall riots in 1969. The documentary features rare archival footage that captures the lively performances and amateur theatricals of the era, set against a backdrop where serving homosexuals in bars was illegal. Despite the devastating effects of the AIDS epidemic, Cherry Grove continues to be a source of joy and influence within the modern LGBTQ+ community.
