With an endearing tone, this documentary follows the proud residents of a working class city as they tirelessly work to ensure that they have their place in LGBT history.

Many of us are from blue collar cities. These towns are the backbone of our country, tucked away in various regions of the US. Often, our history, is forgotten because we are not from New York City or San Francisco. Well, the townspeople of Buffalo, NY led by one extraordinary and passionate lesbian, Madeline Davis, decide to not only collect all queer-related memorabilia, but make their history as well. At first glance, it appears to be one woman’s crusade gathering rare, vibrant and emotional artifacts-like the original recording of “Stonewall Nation” produced by the Mattachine Society, various drag queen costumes, and deeply personal letters from the town’s first transsexual-evolves into a town-wide(out or otherwise) crusade. It is inspiring watching the townsfolk from an impoverished, Rust-Belt city preserve their past for the sake of their future. At the heart and soul of this charming documentary is not the individual stories unfolding on screen, rather its sense of our LGBT community that we share regardless of our station in life. -- Kelly Burkhardt
