The Committee background

The Committee

The Red Scare of the 1950s and 1960s led to a witch hunt at state universities, where faculty members and students suspected of being gay were subjected to intense scrutiny and often forced out of their academic positions.

A documentary film tells the story of Florida's secretive investigative committee that operated from 1956 to 1964, targeting and expelling over 200 suspected LGBTQ individuals from state universities.
