Opération Hyacinthe

This ain't your feel-good Gay movie. This is one of our stories about our tough history. It's about a society who is locked in homophobia, to the point of seeking out the queers to criminalize them. It's well-done drama, based on the the Hyacinth Operation in Communist Poland in the 80s, rooting out queers to rat on other queers, etc.

There are some lighter parts, such as a glimpse of a clandestine queer party full of silly antics. And you do get to experience the some of queer "family" support through horrendous times. And a little bit of sex.

Definitely worth a watch. It's part of our history. (Unfortunately, it's also part of our present, given Poland's continued institutionalized homophobia).

Please watch it. It's entertaining. And it's important!
