Documentary “A Long Road to Freedom: The Advocate Celebrates 50 Years” begins 20-city theatrical release

Following its world premiere at Outfest 2018, the critically acclaimed Here TV Original documentary, A Long Road to Freedom: The Advocate Celebrates 50 Years hits theaters this month – including a Q&A and screening tonight in North Hollywood!

Directed by Billy Clift and produced by Emmy-nominated actor-producer David Millbern, the documentary will have a 20-city theatrical release including Los Angeles, Palm Springs, and Seattle.

Narrated by Laverne Cox with music by Melissa Etheridge, this moving feature-length documentary focuses on watershed moments in LGBTQ history through never-before-seen footage and engaging interviews with former NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt, Caitlyn Jenner, Don Lemon, Gloria Allred, Gavin Newsom, Dustin Lance Black, Margaret Cho, Armistead Maupin, Bruce Vilanch, Greg Louganis, DeRay Mckesson, Candis Cayne, Guillermo Diaz, and many more.

Starting with the Black Cat Riots, the film covers Stonewall, the disco sexual revolution, the AIDS crisis, marriage equality, and the trans movement to present day.

“This documentary lays out a clear path of resistance that resides in the DNA of the LGBTQ community,” says Millbern. “It demonstrates that with courage and resilience, we can conquer any foe. As bad as things may seem currently, we have been here before. We hope that this film not only educates but serves as a call to action for a new generation of activists.”
