"Stand Up, Stand Out" tells the story of a unique brand of activism belonging only to San Francisco--where three gay teachers’ fight for equal rights during the burgeoning Gay Liberation Movement of the 1970s, led to the blossoming of the Valencia Rose Cabaret, Café, and Restaurant, believed to be the first and only gay-owned and operated comedy club in the USA. As AIDS ravaged San Francisco, a gay and lesbian comedy club flourished in, of all places, an old mortuary.
Abraham Bojórquez (Ukamau y Ké) developed the so-called hip hop Aymara, with his social lyrics he shook the Latin American society in the early 21st century. He died violently at the peak of his musical career, the same day he finished recording his second album. Years later, his friend, Ecuadorian rapper and director Andrés Ramírez returns to Bolivia to uncover the reasons for his death and to find him in the Andean cyclical time. In this surreal journey Ukamau y Ké comes back to life through records, files and, dream visions.

Torrside Brewing is based in New Mills, in Derbyshire's High Peak, on the north-west edge of the Peak District.
Our name is taken from the Torrs, the 70-foot-deep gorge cut by the Rivers Goyt & Sett, that the town stands above and around. New Mills is an old and sizeable town, but has somehow missed out on having its own brewery!
