Jamie Rich This program not only tells the story of a city and neighborhood's growth and evolution, but of the growth and evolution of the gay civil rights movement itself. Beautifully photographed and intelligently written, this is a "must see" for anyone who's wondered why San Francisco is sometimes called a "gay mecca."The producers have included interviews with a diverse group of people... heterosexual, gay and lesbian... most of whom have played important roles in the 20th century history of the Castro.For anyone planning to visit San Francisco, for anyone who thinks they might be gay or lesbian, for anyone who knows they ARE, or for those just wondering about the whole issue... see this program. It will be time well spent."The Castro" captures the spirit of the neighborhood and of individuals seeking equality and freedom.
