Film Synopsis:
The year was 1954. Stanley Kramer's stylized film portrayal of
America's rebellious youth, The Wild Ones, the original motorcycle
movie featuring leather-clad icon Marlon Brando, splashed across the
silver screen.
Americans were healing from the scars of World War II, and gay
veterans were exploring ways to covertly meet other masculine men. The
Satyrs Motorcycle Club of Los Angeles was there at the beginning of
this new era. It was the start of a gay motorcycle club revolution
which influenced the creation of other clubs across the nation.
This emerging club culture was the means to an end for meeting and
socializing with other gay leather-motorcycle buddies. "Original
Pride" is a journey into the legendary Satyrs Motorcycle Club and
offers a look at the men who were there and frames their stories,
memories and influences on the leather community.
Archive footage and vintage photographs reveal how these men shaped
gay culture. In addition, it examines how the ever-changing
socio-political landscape of our community affected the club and lives
of its members. It is a relevant and poignant exploration of the times
and an assessment of the Satyrs' future as a vital member of the gay
leather-motorcycle community.
