ABOUT Save Our Children

Save Our Children chronicles Florida’s role in the fight for LGBTQ equality. It is centered on the 1977 Human Rights Ordinance in Miami and Anita Bryant’s ensuing “Save our Children” repeal campaign, which inadvertently helped propel the Gay Rights Movement. The film weaves together past and present to tell the origin of the modern gay rights movement.
