I want my people to be remembered

Directed by Hélène Giannecchini

When I meet photographer Donna Gottschalk in Vermont, she tells me she has spent her life photographing queer people from working-class backgrounds. She shows me portraits, street scenes captured in the late 1960s, and entrusts me with hundreds of negatives that have never been developed. The film begins with this gesture of trust and unfurls the story of these forgotten lives.
