    Evolution Of Disco Documentary EP1 - The Stonewall Rebellion

    The Evolution Of Disco (1/4) Disco is the precursor to House music & Dance culture as we know it. This episode Jason takes the story right back to the roots, as we look at the turbulent birth of the spaces that allowed Disco to come into being. Soundtracked by the songs from the Stonewall juke box & classic Soul & Funk from the 50s & 60s, the story takes us through the trials & tribulations of the LGBTQ+ community, in New-York & beyond. From police harassment, to government oppression & exploitation from the mafia. The story of The Stonewall uprising is a seminal moment in the history of Gay Liberation & essential in understanding the context of how the Discotheques & DJs that followed were able to make such a lasting impact on popular culture.  Sources -Documentaries: Pump Up The Volume Hitsville The Making Of Motown The Stonewall Uprising Stonewall Forever The Death & Life Of Marshal P Johnson Why The US Government Murdered Fred Hampton Black Panthers - Vanguard Of The Revolution  Disco: Soundtrack Of A Revolution Vietnam -Books Last Night A DJ Saved My Life Turn The Beat Around -Films From The Era  Forrest Gump Judas & The Black Messiah BlacKKKlansman -Spotlight on Queer Stories Femme Pride Dallas Buyers Club Its A Sin The Stonewall Uprising The Death & Life Of Marshal P Johnson Wojnarowicz - Art AIDS & Newyork In The 80s The Stonewall Uprising Stonewall Forever Paris Is Burning
