Video Description

This Peabody Award-winning installment of KQED's neighborhoods series, produced in 1997, chronicles the saga of how a quiet, working-class San Francisco neighborhood of European immigrants gave way to a new community that has become an international symbol of gay liberation. The interviews, archival materials and contemporary footage captures the spirit and vitality of the Castro district. 🎥: by Peter Stein.
