An unblinking behind the scenes story of fashion obsessed New Yorkers who created "voguing" and drag balls , and turned these raucous celebrations into a powerful expression pf personal pride. The world within a world is instantly familiar, filled with ambitions, desires and yearnings that reflect America itself. PARIS IS BURNING is an intimate portrait of one urban community, a world in which the allure of high fashion, status and wealth becomes an affirmation of love, acceptance and joy.
Steph... Very interesting. I liked how this documentary really breaks everything down and I learned some new terms (Mopping = Stealing, etc). Totally fun (except the last part is kind of sad). Worth a look.
