Max Doc 'Last Call: When a Serial Killer Stalked Queer New York' Trailer

"Queer bars were one of the few places where we could come and feel safe... And then, all the sudden, everything was taken away." HBO has revealed an official trailer for a four-part docu-series called Last Call: When a Serial Killer Stalked Queer New York, and LGBTQ-themed true crime thriller. It will be released on HBO and streaming on Max starting in early July. Based on the book "Last Call: A True Story of Love, Lust, and Murder in Queer New York" written by Elon Green. As the AIDS crisis intensifies in the early 1990s, homophobia and hate crimes increase, and a serial killer preys on gay men in New York City by infiltrating the queer nightlife to identify his victims. The film highlights the prejudices and attitudes of the times, when deep-rooted biases in the criminal justice system and the media's distorted public perception of the victims undermined the investigation (all too similar to what's happening again nowadays). Featuring Matt Foreman, Bea Hanson, & David Wertheimer of the NYC Anti-Violence Project. Keep an eye out for this. // Continue Reading ›
