About Paragraph 175
During the Nazi regime, there was widespread persecution of homosexual men, which started in 1871 with the Paragraph 175 of the German Penal Code. Thousands were murdered in concentration camps. This powerful and disturbing documentary, narrated by Rupert Everett, presents for the first time the largely untold testimonies of some of those who survived.
Directed by Rob Epstein, Jeffrey Friedman, Paragraph 175 leans on a strong ensemble — Rupert Everett, Heinz Dörmer, Annette Eick — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about history titles of 2000.
