Gay Games II Highlights: San Francisco

Male Entertainment Network (MEN) was founded in 1983 and lasted for 10 years as a media company for the gay community. During that time, they produced 40 videos - including all the official coverage of Gay Games II. MEN documented gay history in a unique fashion - capturing, in words and images, gay life in the '80s in this vintage gay documentary. This look at the 1986 Gay Games in San Francisco will satisfy the general interest of those who want what the title implies - Highlights. This tape is well-edited and gives what it promises, the highlights. Opening with a large montage of some sporting events, opening ceremonies, and the pre/post shows, Sister Boom-Boom leads the parade of the Board of Directors and Executive Director Shawn Kelly. Then, guest M.C. Rita Mae Brown introduces the event, which has 3,482 athletes from 17 countries, 37 states, 261 cities, in 17 sports. Amongst brief interviews and thoughts by various athletes from around the world, we get to watch highlights from women's power lifting, long distance running, to racket ball, basketball, golf, and tennis. Watch this one at regular speed and you'll love its full effect. This dvd is NOT a porn film. Cast: Rita Mae Brown, Tom Waddell, Dianne Feinstein, Sharon McKnight, Shaw Kelly, Richard Dobson
