on international release: Legendary Children [All of Them Queer] Revelation Films 2025 As LGBTQIA+ Pride in the UK celebrated its 50th birthday, how did it all begin, and where is Pride heading in a world where the Right is rising again?

Directed and produced by Rob Falconer, and titled by kind permission of Holly Johnson after his 1994 song, the Pride history and LGBTQIA+ rights documentary LEGENDARY CHILDREN [ALL OF THEM QUEER] explores the extraordinary 1972 arrival of the Pride movement on European soil and the global phenomenon it would become. From the 1970s and the arrival of the Gay Liberation Front, groundbreaking rights pioneers of that time recall a very different and hostile landscape in Britain. By the 1990s Pride grew to the mega parades and huge park festivals, succesively bankrupting themselves. Pride in London, the present day incarnation, sees huge numbers in central London but also provokes powerful controversy in the community over its depoliticised parade promoting corporate sponsors. Features prominent human rights campaigners, LGBTQI+ activists and artists who have shaped the course of LGBTQI+ life over the years, including Peter Tatchell, Angela Mason, Tom Robinson, Neil Bartlett, Ted Brown, Stuart Milk, Andrew Lumsden, Stuart Feather, Nathaniel J Hall and more. Music by Tom Robinson, Tall Houses and SRJ. Captures spectacular footage of both Pride's official July 1st birthday and the supersize Pride in London event. Raucous, off the cuff, firmly connected to our present, and likely not what anyone's been expecting... The film premiered at the KASHISH 2023 LGBT+ film festival staged in India's movie capital Mumbai in June 2023, just as India awaited the landmark Surpreme Court ruling on equal marriage, won a Festival Favourites Audience Award at Palm Springs LGBTQ+ Film Festival California, played at Spain's huge Wnter Pride and sof far in UK arthouses at Lighthouse Cinema (Picturehouse) in the South West and Curzon Bloomsbury cinema in London's West End. Acquired for worldwide streaming TV release by Revelation Films for release from July 2025. The title song's music promo The Face by Tall Houses was released in partnership with UK LGBT+ History Month 2025 across Apple Music Video and VEVO (UK 48 mins) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt36961315
