We are in an age where inages possess power to affect the world. We intend to review and summarize the development of homosexuality as an issue in the past 30 years with an archive of images. We aim to trace and document the homosexual equale rights movement in China and highlight the historical moments such as the decriminalization and depathologizeing of homosexuality, along with a visual report of Chinese people's conception shifts and positive media exposures. Our film will also present the achievements in legislation, academic research, literary creation in publication, artistic works on display and the joint efforts of combating HIV/AIDS by sexologists, medical professionals and community-based LGBT groups. In this feature length documentary, we interviewed 30 prominent figures in the LGBT community, who have experienced the sea changes of views and lifes lifestyles regarding homosexuality in the past 30 years. By documenting and preserving a significant part of our history, we aim to investigate the present and explore the future.
