Overview: Titled after Holly Johnson's iconic anthem, Legendary Children [All Of Them Queer] follows many of the original pioneers of the 1972 and first European Pride March during events over the summer of Pride 50 when the UK marked its 50th anniversary in spectacular style. The headline cast encompasses some of the most genuinely influential figures in UK LGBTQIA+ rights activism and its history. Like their US counterparts in the two years following the Stonewall Riots, these remarkable individuals were there at the very start when Pride was taking its first steps in Europe too. We won't quite see their like again. Not a history lesson, the film is a lively, informal celebration and personal recollection of many stages along the way of 50 years of activism, both then and now, by those who were there.
