Weinig erkenning voor lhbti'ers in het verzet, deze docu moet dat veranderen

Lhbti-verzetsstrijders kregen na de oorlog weinig waardering. Dat zegt de Britse schrijver Stephen Fry. Daarom maakte hij een documentaire over de homoseksuele Willem en lesbische Frieda. Ze pleegden een aanslag op het Amsterdamse bevolkingsregister.
