Roland Emmerich's 'Stonewall' Trailer Debuts


A crucial piece of history is coming to the big screen. With the recent SCOTUS gay marriage decision, this film couldn't have better timing.

Directed by Roland Emmerich, "Stonewall" tells the 1969 story of the Stonewall Riots, with a slightly fictionalized plot line. It focuses around the story of fictional character Danny, played by Jeremy Irvine, and the events leading up to the Stonewall Riots.

While many are elated that this pivotal piece of history is being told, some critics are skeptical with the apparent lack of minorities in the film. The actual New York City Stonewall Riots brought together the entire LGBT community, including people of color, transgenders, and lesbians...while the "Stonewall" trailer seems to depict mostly white gay males.

However, we can't be too quick to judge. See for yourself when this much anticipated movie premieres at the Toronto Film Festival and opens to the public on September 25.
