Beautifully restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive in collaboration with Frameline and Outfest, GAY USA is the first American feature-length documentary by and about gay and lesbian people. Director Arthur J. Bressan, Jr. (best known for his 1985 gay drama BUDDIES) mobilized camera crews across the country to document the national Gay Freedom Day marches in June of 1977. GAY USA conveys the passion, anger and defiant optimism of a community under attack.
