In 1920, Harvard University secretly established a court to investigate and punish students suspected of homosexuality. Thirty-seven men appeared before the court, including tutors, professors, students, and individuals from Boston. After two weeks of testimony, eight Harvard men were compelled to leave the university, and one tragically took his own life. Based on real court documents, "Perkins 28" presents nine episodes of testimony from the 1920 Secret Court Files. Filmed in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and featuring Harvard students.
