A groundbreaking documentary that showcases an intimate and raw look into New York City’s 1980s ballroom scene—a subculture where Black and Latinx LGBTQ+ individuals found self-expression, family, and fame. Through dazzling voguing battles, fierce runway competitions, and deeply personal interviews, the film explores themes of identity, race, class, and the pursuit of dreams in a society that often marginalizes its subjects. With unforgettable figures like Pepper LaBeija, Venus Xtravaganza, and Dorian Corey, Paris Is Burning is both a celebration of resilience and a poignant commentary on the realities of life at the margins. This iconic film is more than just a documentary—it’s a cultural touchstone that continues to inspire generations.
