This documentary dives deep into the life of Marsha P. Johnson, a pivotal figure in the LGBTQ+ rights movement. It captures the grit and resilience of the 1970s New York scene, showcasing not just Johnson’s activism but her vibrant personality as a 'street queen.' The pacing is a bit non-linear, which sort of mirrors the chaos and vitality of the era. You get this real sense of community, but also the struggles dealt with by trans individuals. The interviews are striking, and the archival footage pulls you right into the heart of the Stonewall era. It’s raw and honest, exploring themes of identity, activism, and loss, especially with that tragic twist at the end. Definitely a significant watch for anyone interested in LGBTQ+ history.
