Art and Pep plot

"Falling in love was easy. Fighting for love was everything."

Art Johnston and Pepe Peña are civil rights leaders whose lives and loves have been a force for LGBTQ+ equality in the heartland of the country. Their iconic gay bar Sidetrack has helped fuel movements and create community in Chicago’s queer enclave for decades. But behind the business and their historic activism lies an unparalleled love. This documentary chronicles their long fight for equality and their struggle to love freely.
