  • Outstanding TV Movie or Limited Series

No one who tries to tell the story of four decades of the struggle of LGBT issues in America is ever going to be able to please anyone but Lance Dustin Black has a damn good try with 'When We Rise' - While we have seen films on Harvey Milk and the HIV epidemic, nothing has ever been attempted on this scale before. It is a sweeping and sprawling story which works well not only as a historical signpost for those want to dig further but telling the more intimate story of the three protagonists, all of whom found themselves becoming unwilling activists in the struggle to fight gay prejudice and homophobia in America.

There's so much to be said for this mini-series.This mini-series is important.

Fantastic journey through the painful and inspiring story of the LGBTQ+ recent history.
