Paris Is Burning

Paris Is Burning is a 1990 documentary film directed by Jennie Livingston. Filmed in the second half of the 1980s, it chronicles the movement known as dance culture in New York City, and the social sectors most involved in it: gay Latinos and African-Americans, as well as the transgender community, all of them often involved in the risk of social exclusion and poverty.

This documentary has been considered an extraordinary example of the end of the so-called “Golden Age” of drag dancing in New York, as well as a delicate exploration of the conflicts derived from race, social class and gender in North America.
