HBO Max’s docuseries Equal premieres on the streaming service this Thursday. Equal is a definitive four-part docu-series that chronicles the dangerous twists and turns in the lives of LGBTQIA+ history’s unsung heroes – the warriors, patriots, artists, thinkers, and organizers who preceded Stonewall, who spoke out when it mattered most, who built community through secret societies, and who fought against all odds in pursuit of that most underlining human quality: the desire to be yourself. Equal: Thursday on HBO Max.
Bad Hair, the newest film from Dear White People creator Justin Simien, will be released on the streamer on Friday.
