Video: Senior Prom — PBS Short Docs
Description
Watch this PBS short documentary featuring Robert Mary Clement alongside other LGBTQ elders reflecting on aging, relationships, and lives shaped by decades of social change, placing Clement’s story within the longer history of LGBTQ life and liberation.
Description: "Senior Prom" takes on a whole new meaning at Triangle Square, a haven for LGBTQ+ retirees in Hollywood, CA. For so many high-schoolers, prom is a rite of passage in all of its love-filled, well-coiffed, abundantly photographed glory. But for generations of LGBTQ+ youth, prom has been emblematic of exclusion from a world they could not experience as their authentic selves. Over a night of dancing, kissing, and crowning of prom queens at Triangle Square, these trailblazing seniors reflect back on how far they've come and their dreams for the next generation. “Senior Prom” celebrates our eldest LGBTQ+ generation who spent a lifetime fighting for the right to love openly and, via rich personal archives, retraces lives and legacies of resistance that helped change the course of civil rights.
Segments with Robert:
02:26-02:49;
06:57-08:53;
