We Raise Our Hands In The Sanctuary
T1263304976
Disenchanted by the London gay disco scene of 1981, two best friends set out to build their own underground club, a place of pure escapism where prejudice, poverty and bigotry can be forgotten for a few hours, lost to the dance. But success brings its own demons; ambition, addiction and the dawning onslaught of AIDS threaten to tear their friendship - and their sanctuary - apart. And when you're young, scared, rebelling and vilified for your sexuality, the crucial importance of queer spaces and of gay friendship cannot be underestimated.
