The Screaming Queens: The Riot at Compton's Cafeteria is a 2005 documentary directed by Susan Stryker and Victor Silverman.[1] It recounts the circumstances leading to, and events of, the 1966 riot at Compton's Cafeteria in the Tenderloin District of San Francisco. This was among the first collective acts of resistance to police harassment and intimidation in the transgender community recorded in US history.[2]
The film portrays the events of the riot and its impacts through interviews with individuals involved, among them participants and locals such as Felicia Elizondo, Aleshia Brevard, and Amanda St. James, an activist minister, Rev. Ed Hansen, and SFPD officer and liaison to the LGBT community, Elliott Blackstone.[1]
The film was published by KQED, a member station of PBS. It was awarded an Emmy in the Historical & Cultural category of the 35th Annual Northern California Area EMMY Awards For Outstanding Achievement.[3]
