It was a fabulous day interviewing LGBTQ+ activist Adam Peters for the documentary OUR STORY: PRIDE IN MEMORY. 

Adam had compelling stories and thought-provoking insights to share, and also talked about his run for Iowa House District 97! Check out Adam Peters for Iowa House.

"I am standing on the shoulders of giants," he said of people like gay rights activist Clayton Peterson and so many others in the QC region. 

Thank you, Adam, for taking time out to speak candidly with us for QC Pride in Memory's documentary project, and to everyone who sat down before the camera to share their stories--we know it is not easy and is often an emotional journey. 

QC Pride in Memory is also VERY grateful to the contributors and supporters of this film project. It has been a long journey, but we are seeing a light at the end of the tunnel now, thanks to ALL of you.

Our Story: Pride in Memory (56 min.) Produced by Fourth Wall Films for Quad Cities Pride in Memory, Inc., is a compelling documentary film that shines a light on the untold stories of the Illinois-Iowa Quad Cities LGBTQ+ community. From the guarded 1950s, AIDS, and marriage equality to current attempts to roll back equal rights for LGBTQ+ Americans, the film reveals the story of a personal and local civil rights story.
