About When We Rise

The personal and political struggles, setbacks and triumphs of a diverse family of LGBT men and women who helped pioneer one of the last legs of the U.S. Civil Rights movement from its turbulent infancy in the 20th century to the once unfathomable successes of today.

When We Rise runs for 1 season, created by Dustin Lance Black. Every episode page keeps the show's order, so you can watch from the pilot to the finale without hunting for the next link. Episodes are bought individually for 1 credit.
