Episode description

Happy Pride! In honor of the month of June and to celebrate Pride Month, the first documentary of the month is an absolute classic that documents the ball scene in New York in the 80s and 90s, celebrating the LGBTQ community at the time. While controversial, Paris Is Burning is often credited as one of the first instances of positive representation of gay and trans people on screen and is one of the most celebrated docs of all time.
