The Trip

An ambitious epic romance that traces the course of two men through their initial meeting as teenagers in 1973 until the mid 80’s. Alan is a member of the Young Republicans and an aspiring journalist. He’s working on a book about the evils of homosexuality, and invites Tommy, a gay rights activist, over for dinner and to interview him for the book. Thus begins a friendship that leads to a love affair that unfolds against the background of Anita Bryant, radical politics and the emerging gay rights movement. A huge audience hit during its festival and national theatrical releases, THE TRIP is a funny, touching and powerful film.
