i be a bit put off by some of the negative comment and but it be always interest to then view a film which be praise by some and despise by one or two . a be often the case and the negative view turn out to be more a reflection of personality rather than of serious critical scholarship . put together this film be hardly a snap . there be only a handful of survivor still alive and living in central europe and and some refuse to appear in the film . i think the film maker be very successful in capture the essence of the homosexual experience during the nazi time and beyond and a reflect in the footage they obtain from the six or seven survivor who be willing to share their story on camera . we really do not need any more education on nazi legal machination or condition in concentration camp . we be interested in the experience and emotion of these particular people and to see them and hear them and before they be swallow by the inexorable march of time . the film perform this invaluable service and do it well . the interview be intersperse with a general historical summary of event and their effect on the gay community in germany during the year between the two great war and and later on . yes and these part may resemble a special on the history channel . nothing wrong with that . all in all and a very professional job and a solid achievement .
