Evolution Of Disco Documentary EP1 - The Stonewall Rebellion

The Evolution Of Disco (1/4)Disco is the precursor to House music & Dance culture as we know it. This episode Jason takes the story right back to the roots, as we look at the turbulent birth of the spaces that allowed Disco to come into being. Soundtracked by the songs from the Stonewall juke box & classic Soul & Funk from the 50s & 60s, the story takes us through the trials & tribulations of the LGBTQ+ community, in New-York & beyond. From police harassment, to government oppression & exploitation from the mafia. The story of The Stonewall uprising is a seminal moment in the history of Gay Liberation & essential in understanding the context of how the Discotheques & DJs that followed were able to make such a lasting impact on popular culture. Sources-Documentaries:Pump Up The VolumeHitsville The Making Of MotownThe Stonewall UprisingStonewall ForeverThe Death & Life Of Marshal P JohnsonWhy The US Government Murdered Fred HamptonBlack Panthers - Vanguard Of The Revolution Disco: Soundtrack Of A RevolutionVietnam-BooksLast Night A DJ Saved My LifeTurn The Beat Around-Films From The Era Forrest GumpJudas & The Black MessiahBlacKKKlansman-Spotlight on Queer StoriesFemmePrideDallas Buyers ClubIts A SinThe Stonewall UprisingThe Death & Life Of Marshal P JohnsonWojnarowicz - Art AIDS & Newyork In The 80sThe Stonewall UprisingStonewall ForeverParis Is Burning
