视频简介
Katherine of Alexandria, brought up as a nomad and living in the desert, was aged just 11 when Emperor Maxentius saw her whilst out on patrol. Consumed by her beauty, impudence and uncanny talent for languages, he abducted the child, killing her family. The slaughter was witnessed by her young friend, Constantine, who would later become Emperor of the Western Roman Empire. He never lost hope of finding Katherine. As a young woman, Katherine refused to submit to Maxentius' offers of marriage and she continually denounced his brutal enforcement of pagan religion upon the masses. Still obsessed with her beauty, Maxentius brought Katherine before 50 of Rome's finest scholars in an open court in Alexandria, where she eloquently demolished their arguments. When Constantine learned of Katherine's whereabouts and imprisonment at the hands of Maxentius, he led his army from York in a desperate bid to save her.。影片取材自真实历史事件，1969年的纽约“石墙酒吧暴动”。 1969年6月28日，纽约警方突击了一家位于曼哈顿东村地区的由黑社会经营的酒吧“石墙”，这里都是一些无家可归的同性恋人士，因为当时主流社会的排斥，纷纷以此为家。这次突袭并没有按照警方预想的那样发展，最终引发一场大规模同性恋抗议暴动，这场暴动所引发的连锁反应和美国六七十年代的黑人民权运动、反战示威等一起改变了美国乃至世界的社会面貌。 电影《石墙暴动》由约翰·罗宾·贝茨（John Robin Bates）编剧，故事的主角是一个被父母赶出家门的同性恋男孩，他只身从小乡村来到大纽约 ，被石墙酒吧收留，亲身参加了这场暴动。。
