The Marching Season (2008)

Overview

A documentary that looks at the historical chasm between Riga, Latvia and London, whose events were twinned in 2007. While London celebrates 35 years of Gay Pride, Riga holds its first officially sanctioned LGBT march, faced with the chilling opposition of religious fundamentalist and neo-nazi groups. The Riga march is a solemn political act, while in London some worry that the political origins of Pride have become lost.
