The Queers Riot

La rebelión de las raras

In early 1970s Chile, a group of poor transvestites and homosexuals try to survive in the center of the capital, amid a hostile environment. Tired of police abuse, homophobia, and discrimination, they decide to organize an unprecedented protest in Santiago’s Plaza de Armas. All of this unfolds amid the political and social tension leading up to one of the most violent coups in Latin American history.
