Stuck in the 90s

Conceptually & visually outdated - felt like I was watching a gay doc from the 90s. I was utterly surprised to see it was actually from 2017, which makes the lack of US BIPOC perspectives particularly unforgivable. Some parts are interesting (moreso the interviews with historians), but generally hokey, shaky, and overly autobiographical. Ironically attempts to have a "global" perspective while ignoring intersectionality, post-colonialism, and non-white LGB experiences in the US & Europe (briefly touches on two-spirit - but while rolling footage of the white host in "tribal" dress unironically... cringe).
