Many may think they know the facts of what happened at Compton's but "Screaming Queens" adds telling detail of what led up to the riots as provided by some of the participants themselves.

Rated: 4/4

Screaming Queens ...creates a portrait of a time and place which to some today may seem as far removed as ancient Egypt.

Rated: 8/10
