The Strange History of Don't Ask, Don't Tell

Crafted by the Clinton administration as a compromise when public blowback to an outright repeal of the U.S.'s ban on gays in the military became too heated, the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy drew constant fire from all sides over the nearly 20 years it was in force. This HBO documentary reflects on the place of homosexuals in service through world history, as well as DADT's acrimonious origins and its frequently tortured application. 80 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo.
