Check out our trailer for the Grand Rapids LGBTQ People’s History film

Here is a taste of what you can expect to see on November 17, when the premier screening of A People’s History of the LGBTQ Community in Grand Rapids takes place at the downtown campus of GVSU.

We have conducted nearly 70 interviews, collected lots of archival material – video, photos, articles and posters, for the material to complete this film. It has been an incredible process of learning and sharing.

GRIID is grateful to the LGBT Resource Center at Grand Valley State University and the Kutsche Office of Local History for their support in making this project come to fruition.

The premier screening is Thursday, November 17 at the downtown campus of GVSU, in the Loosemore Auditorium. Doors open at 6:30PM. The film screening if free and open to the public. There is also a facebook event page for this event.

The music for this trailer is provided by the local band Alexis and the song is Human Condition.
