Disco's Revenge

‘Disco’s Revenge’ celebrates disco music’s true legacy of resistance and liberation. Born in the gay underground clubs of 1970s New York in the wake of the civil rights movement and the Stonewall riots, disco was much more than just music from the start. Disco was a movement. A movement that fought for diversity, self-expression and joy – until it was commercialized and became the subject of the infamous hate campaign ‘Disco Sucks’.

Narrated by those who lived through it all – Nile Rodgers, Billy Porter, Nona Hendryx, Grandmaster Flash, Fab Five Freddy and many more – the film traces the rise and fall of disco, its transformation into house music, and its comeback in this millennium. Legendary dance floors, electrifying performances and an unforgettable soundtrack – disco finally gets its rightful place in history and proves that its spirit of inclusion and empowerment is more vital than ever.
