In Anita's Wake: The Irrational War on Florida's Gay Families
In Anita's Wake: The Irrational War on Florida's Gay Families is one of the most talked-about movies released in 2010, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
The film looks back at the hysteria surrounding the 1977 homophobic crusade of Anita Bryant, and the resulting anti-gay adoption statute that was passed by the Florida Legislature. Featured in the film are courageous parents and children who fought to save their families from a Florida government that irrationally and unfairly endorsed anti-gay adoption discrimination for 33 years.
