That Was Ray

This 18-minute documentary tells the story of Rev. Ray Broshears, who became a pivotal figure in San Francisco's LGBTQ+ community. In response to violence against the community, Broshears formed the Lavender Panthers, an armed self-defense group that aimed to protect those who were being targeted. Through interviews with friends and historians, the film highlights the struggles faced by the community during that era.

The animation elements in the film enhance the storytelling, providing a visual representation of the events that unfolded. The documentary not only captures the urgency of the fight for rights but also pays tribute to those who stood up in the face of adversity. The tagline, "The Story of the Most Dangerous Gay Man in America," underscores the significant impact Broshears had in advocating for safety and justice.
