The Great Pink Scare (00:20:00)In the 1950's and early 60's, an anti-pornography hysteria swept the country. This crack-down took a particularly dark turn at a small liberal arts college in western Massachusetts. This month's Real to Reel examines The Great Pink Scare, a powerful documentary that chronicles the story of how three gay professors became ensnared in this law enforcement web. For filmmaker Tug Yourgrau, it was an eye-opening journey, particularly after he interviewed the two surviving professors. |
