A documentary about the first Mardi Gras parade in Sydney, Australia. I found a copy of this earlier in the year and posted it on archive.org. Content Warning for police brutality.

I’m cross-posting this here as I thought this community might find it interesting as well. I think the way I procured it also leads to a bigger discussion about the preservation of queer film & media. I think it’s important, now more than ever, for younger and freshly realised queer people to see that we’ve been here and fighting for our rights for a really long. Videos like this one feel like they evoke a more visceral connection to that past.
