Peter Tatchell: Do ódio Ao Amor

What a great film.

To see what drives a man to effectively dedicate himself to fighting the injustice against LGBT people unfold has been wonderful. So much has changed and this film slickly replays and captures, at pace - not a dull moment, the story of the World's no1 protester of our time for LGBT rights. Seeing the old news clips, the way the film is constructed with music underpinning parts of the narrative in a mischievous way. To see Jimmy Somerville, Peter Tatchell and Sir Ian McKellen interviewing Peter and in news clips. This could have been an eight-hour film with the topics touched upon - the film-maker has at pace moved through the headlines and combined that with personal backstory interviews a footage to build a more rounded picture of a man many fear and many more others adore. Things in many ways have got better for LGBT folks in many Countries, with more work still to do. If Emily and Sylvia Pankhurst could only have had a film made about their work like this? We live in a fairer society with thanks to their influence. The film really does pay a tribute to a lifetime of work by a human rights activist and captures this for all time for future generations to understand. Love him or loathe him - the film is a solid watch to see.

Just watched an incredible tribute to one of my all time favourite heroes, Peter Tatchell, in 'Hating Peter Tatchell' on Netflix. A brand new documentary, superbly crafted by Chris Amos, featuring not only Peter, but Sir Ian McKellen, Stephen Fry, Elton John and many others - all waxing lyrical about one of the most significant human rights ambassadors of our time. Everybody should watch this and learn about the man who has so often lead the way in trying to make the world a better - and kinder - place for everyone, whilst frequently putting himself in grave danger and suffering horrific attacks and injuries along the way. Top marks.

Tatchell started his activism as a very young man in the late 1960s. That took a lot of guts! If not for people like him, society would not have progressed this far. This biodocumentary chronicles the discrimination and hate people suffered in the past and sometimes, in the present. It isn't pleasant to watch but important to remember. I think we all need to be reminded once in a while to be kinder and more tolerant to each other.

In not sure I agree with his outing tactics, but he didn't go after mere closeted people, but those gay people working against gay equality.

Peter Tatchell has devoted his life to human rights, justice and equality. This is a tribute to a man who is determined to make the world a better place. May his work continue for many years to come.

Whoever did the sound levels on this documentary should be fired. The music is far too loud against the dialogue, making it very difficult to watch. Such a shame they ruined it.
