Behind Closed Doors: The Dark Legacy of the Johns Committee
2000
Synopsis
This short documentary covers the Johns Committee, started by Florida State Senator Charley Johns to weed out Communists and homosexuals. Florida State University and the University of South Florida did not cooperate fully with the investigations, but the University of Florida, under the direction of J. Wayne Reitz, did. Several prominent gay men and lesbians were left unaffected by the investigations, while others had their careers left in shambles.
