Paris Is Burning

A rerelease of Jennifer Livingston's engaging. enlightening, entertaining, 71-minute, 1990 documentary about the New York gay subculture in the 1980s and follows various flamboyant African-American and Hispanic gay transvestites or transsexual drag queens who sadly are often ridiculed and ostracized in their daily life but find acceptance when they perform and compete on the costume ball circuit, which began in the 1920s.
