A work of appropriation, the video Tearoom is a police surveillance film - presented virtually unaltered - of men having sex in a public rest room in Mansfield, Ohio during a three week period in the summer of 1962. This film, used as evidence in court, led to the conviction of over 30 men on charges of sodomy, which at that time carried a minimum sentence of one year in the state penitentiary"--2nd Cannons Publications website, viewed June 30, 2016.
