The first Gay Pride Mardi Gras parade in Sydney, Australia was held on the evening of 24 June 1978, linked to the anniversary of the Stonewall riot. Five hundred people turned out to celebrate, and the number eventually swelled to several thousand. Although the event had been sanctioned by the city authorities, it was still broken up by the police and 53 participants were arrested. This film, released two years after the event, documents the police brutality and the subsequent social and political upheaval which followed in the wake of the arrests that evening.
