The F.H.A.R by Carole Roussopoulos

Paris, 1971. During the traditional May 1st parade, a homosexual contingent appeared for the first time, composed of activists from the FHAR, the brand-new Homosexual Front for Revolutionary Action. In a few months, Carole Roussopoulos filmed the joyous and entirely subversive emergence of the homosexual movement in the French political field. A collective will to break prejudices and open minds on a previously taboo subject becomes evident.

Marseille, November 17, 2012. LGBT activists counter-demonstrate during the rally against the marriage equality law project. The camera bears witness to this high-tension encounter, capturing the reactions of participants—religious figures, elected officials, or ordinary citizens—who claim not to be homophobic while making unequivocal statements.
