From pretty much the team that brought us the movie Milk, including director Gus Van Sant (who will direct the first 2 eps) and Dustin Lance Black (who will write and produce), comes the ABC miniseries "We Will Rise". The description of the series is more vague than that time Jodie Foster sort of came out:
“When We Rise” chronicles the personal and political struggles, set-backs and triumphs of a diverse family of LGBT men and women who helped pioneer one of the last legs of the U.S. Civil Rights movement from its turbulent infancy in the 20th century to the once unfathomable successes of today. The period piece tells the history of the gay rights movement, starting with the Stonewall Riots in 1969.
So, um, exactly what people will it be about?
On the other hand, I'm cautiously/naively optimistic it won't be too white/cis-washed, but we'll see!
