"New York's Queer Liberation March joins with Black Lives Matter replacing Pride Parade during CoVid-19 lockdown"

The camera puts you in the thick of the protest action as LGBTQ+ and BLM protesters in New York City protest for their rights. A semi-animated time-displaced rendition of the "Queer Liberation March for Black Lives and Against Police Brutality" which took place in NYC in June 2020 on the day that the canceled, due to CoVid 19, Pride Parade would have happened. Coming from Reclaim Pride, the alternative to the Pride Parade on the grounds of corporate co option of a protest movement (Rainbow Capitalism), this protest joins with and is inclusive of the ongoing Black Lives Matter protests and redirects a large portion of its focus on issues of police brutality against the Black community and especially Black people of the LGBQ+ community. This is the 20th film in the series "Protest" by Dolan, started in 2003 with the anti Iraq War protests, that also feature Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, anti Trump, March For Our Lives and Climate Strike movements. This series concentrates on the pageantry of protests via their graphic signage and repetitive chants in a high contrast black and white assemblage that seeks to broadcast and amplify the voice of the people.
