Description: PEABODY AWARD-WINNING DOCUMENTARY! "Traces 30 years of alternating progress, backlash, flamboyance, joy and heartbreak....with reportorial honesty, a sense of balance, a capacity for compressed storytelling... First-rate." --San Francisco Chronicle A Neighborhood. A Battleground. A Mecca. From the Emmy Award-winning PBS series Neighborhoods: The Hidden Cities of San Francisco comes the true story of the neighborhood Harvey Milk made famous...from its earliest days to what he helped it become. Known internationally as the world's first "gay hometown," San Francisco's Castro District began as a quiet, working-class neighborhood of European immigrants. In this moving documentary, filled with rare archival footage and photographs, the Castro's transformation is told by those who lived it, young and old, straight and gay. It's a story of social upheaval... exuberant street culture... political assassination.... and the inspiring coming-of-age of an entire community--an ongoing saga even today.
