A documentary by Michiel van Erp
In the four-part series 'The Pink Revolution', director Michiel van Erp examines the history of the LGBTQIA+ movement in the Netherlands over the past fifty years from his personal astonishment.
A movement of free-spirited people who celebrate that everyone is different. He takes stock in intimate conversations. What about the hard-won achievements and what about all those letters? In 1975 Michiel van Erp found out that he is gay, since then he has been part of the LGBTQIA+ community and has experienced 'everything'. From the growing freedoms that the movement conquered in the 1970s, the AIDS wave that followed, to the growing intolerance against LGBTQIA+ people today.
Van Erp has the story told from the inside by the people who were already there half a century ago and those who are now making themselves heard. Archive images of personal and joint key moments literally frame their stories in a studio specially equipped for the series. The personal conversations show emotional ups and downs: the freedom to be yourself is a great good that still needs to be fought for and celebrated.
