What to expect
Paris Is Burning (1990) looks at the Black, Latino, gay and transgender communities who built family systems called houses and competed through dance, voguing and runway balls. It pairs spectacle with candor about race, class, gender, poverty, homophobia, transphobia and the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
