Producers of the upcoming movie Stonewall have released a new trailer featuring Marsha P. Johnson, a pioneer of the LGBT rights movement.
Johnson is known as one of the first LGBT activists to fight back during the Stonewall riots. She and her friend Sylvia Rivera were prominent activists in New York who fought for gay liberation and rights for transgender women.
The movie directed by Roland Emmerich, has been criticized for ignoring the role of trans activists and people of color in its depiction of one of the most famous moments in LGBT history. Otoja Abit plays Marsha Johnson in the movie.
Stonewall will be released Sept. 25.
