Gay Beach

Short documentary from our "Surviving America" series

A three-day gathering on the Florida panhandle becomes a rollicking party of resistance, grief, and joy in the face of increasing censorship and division. For over 60 years on the last weekend in May, people have gathered to celebrate love and freedom on a stretch of shoreline in Pensacola, Florida nicknamed "Gay Beach". The celebration has grown into one of the biggest Pride events in the American South.
