The "don't ask, don't tell" policy was created to allow gay men and women to join the US military without being asked about their sexual orientation with the understanding that they would not disclose it themselves. This documentary exposes the tangled political battle that led to this discriminatory law and profiles charismatic young activists determined to abolish it.
