The Committee
Made by University of Central Florida students and professors, was recently named best documentary at Sanford's Love Your Shorts Film Festival. It tells the story of how a Florida legislative committee led by state Sen. Charley Johns from 1956 to 1965 targeted homosexuals at state universities.
Its effects on the state's universities were long-lasting. Its efforts "degraded the national standing of the universities in Florida and had a lingering effect that was felt several decades after the Johns Committee went out of business," says former Sen.
Bob Graham in the documentary.
