The movie was very informative, its good to know how things have come about and why. I am one that likes to know history. The documentary Paris is Burning was about ball culture and its role in the LGBT community and how they became about to have a world of their own were they are not judged about how they look who they want to be or do with themselves. The film follows drag queens, voguing, and dance competitions in New York City in the 1980s and 1990s. It also highlights the struggles of black New Yorkers in New York City who were subjected to the same discriminatory practices as drag queens. In addition to their representation of the ball culture, the film also highlights the history, culture, and politics of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Liberation movement, as well as its role in the LGBT community.
