The Stonewall Riots began on today's date, June 28, in 1969. That's why LGBTQ+ Pride Month is celebrated in June.
In 2011, PBS aired an excellent documentary about Stonewall, an uprising that helped expand and transform #LGBTQ activism.
Raw footage of 48 interviews conducted for the documentary are streamable through the website of the American Archive of Public Broadcasting. https://americanarchive.org/special_collections/stonewall-uprising-interviews

And in 2015, a movie was made about the riots that pushed aside all those troublesome drag queens and Black people, and put a white boy center stage as the hero, the way gawd intended.

@ScottSoCal There have been several dubious narrative films about Stonewall. I haven't seen the 2015 one, and have never felt tempted to.
