When We Rise Parts 3 and 4 Review

When We Rise Parts 3 and 4 are reviewed by Alonso Duralde (TheWrap and Linoleum Knife podcast) and Jason Carter (Pop Trigger). https://twitter.com/ADuralde https://twitter.com/jjcforever Part 3 - In the early 1990s, Cleve, Ken and Richard each battle HIV/AIDS. Cleve dedicates himself to creating the Names Project AIDS Memorial quilt; and Cecilia helps Ken enter a VA hospital for treatment, but "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" makes it challenging. Later, in 1997, Cleve realizes that he's been pushed aside by modern LGBT rights organizations when they honor the president who signed "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and the Defense of Marriage Act over his objections. Part 4 - In 2008, Cleve inspires the younger generation to march on Washington, D.C., to demand LGBTQ equality. Roma, meanwhile, fights for healthcare for all in San Francisco; and Ken strives to get the city to help fund a meal program at one of the first LGBTQ inclusive churches in the nation. The LGBT civil-rights movement is chronicled from its turbulent infancy to the present through the experiences of a diverse family of LGBT men and women.
