“The Fruit Machine” is back online! The LGBT Purge Fund is thrilled to partner with SandBay Entertainment to make the documentary freely available for personal viewing.

Through the voices of survivors, the powerful work tells the story of the LGBT Purge and how fear and hate destroyed thousands of young lives. This is a story that needs to be told.
