Last Call: When a Serial Killer Stalked Queer New York

The people and culture embraced in this well crafted documentary have been misunderstood, forsaken, and unfairly ostracized. I found it a compelling series that not only described mysterious and brutal murders, but ones that literally were dismissed because of the sexuality of the victims. It is worth watching with an open mind to gain understanding of social realities and the inequality and ineffectiveness of our justice system. The progression and success of the serial killer was frightening and gave rise to political protests and increased public visibility of gay and trans rights. Staying with the detailed developments and attempts to obtain justice and accountability was the strength of the work. Character studies and family interactions added depth and foundation for the headlines. As I reflect on the evolution of my own perspective and tolerance I can see how I may have affected others close to me who needed my respect and support. We need more illustrations and story telling of this caliber.
