Synopsis:

The Times of Harvey Milk (1984)
Documentary about the rise to power in San Francisco during the 1970's of Harvey Milk, a long-haired gay camera store owner from the sleepy Castro District who became one of the city's most colourful and influential elected officials.

Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt (1989)
Documentary about a special patchwork quilt that was made. Each square had the story of an AIDS victim embroidered onto it.

The Celluloid Closet (1995)
A comprehensive documentary of the history of gays and lesbians in cinema, from negative to positive reflections of gay characters and the troubles of actors and actresses.

Paragraph 175 (2000)
Paragraph 175 interviews the few surviving homosexuals who endured unspeakable horrors under the Nazi regime. Through the testimonies of these men and woman, an untold chapter of the Holocaust unfolds. It is extremely painful for these survivors to recall what they went through, and their expressive silences speak volumes.

Throughout recent years, Rob Epstein has cemented himself at the forefront of the queer cinema movement. With an inimitable ability to turn his lens on and capture the vibrant queer culture, Epsteins films can move from celebratory to sombre in an instant, never turning from the difficult issues and always maintaining an air of sincerity regardless of subject matter. It is for this reason that Rob Epstein has won himself or been nominated for numerous Academy Awards, Emmys and film festival prizes. This stunning five disc set features four of Rob Epsteins most acclaimed documentaries, including The Celluloid Closet, The Times of Harvey Milk, Paragraph 175 and Common Threads.
