Flix has released the first trailer for Roland Emmerich's upcoming drama based
on the true events surrounding the famous and decisive 1969 riots that took
place outside the Stonewall Inn in New York, where police raided the famous "watering
hole" for a large community of gays, lesbians and drag queens.
The film stars Jeremy Irvine (War Horse) as Danny, a
young man that after getting kicked out of his parents house for being who he
is, finds a place to be at the Stonewall Inn. But even there
life isn't rosy and discrimination, and police brutality run rampant, until
someone decides to throw a brick and start something that will ensure their
future.
Opening
on September 25, Stonewall also stars Jonny Beauchamp, Caleb Landry
Jones, Joey King, Karl Glusman, Vlademir Alexis, Alexandre
Nachi, Matt Craven, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and Ron Perlman.
STONEWALL is a drama about a fictional young man
caught up during the 1969 Stonewall riots. Danny Winters (Jeremy Irvine) is
forced to leave behind friends and loved ones when he is kicked out of his
parent’s home and flees to New York. Alone in Greenwich Village, homeless and
destitute, he befriends a group of street kids who soon introduce him to the
local watering hole The Stonewall Inn; however, this shady, mafia-run club is
far from a safe-haven. As Danny and his friends experience
discrimination, endure atrocities and are repeatedly harassed by the police, we
see a rage begin to build. This emotion runs through Danny and the entire
community of young gays, lesbians and drag queens who populate the Stonewall
Inn and erupts in a storm of anger. With the toss of a single brick, a riot
ensues and a crusade for equality is born.
