Where does voguing come from, and what, exactly, is throwing shade? This landmark documentary provides a vibrant snapshot of the 1980s through the eyes of New York City2s African American and Latinx Harlem drag-ball scene. Made over seven years, it offers an intimate portrait of rival fashion 1houses,2 from fierce contests for trophies to house mothers offering sustenance in a world rampant with homophobia, transphobia, racism, AIDS, and poverty. |
