#Bales2023FilmChallenge March 6: a main character wearing a dress for #NationalDressDay
“[…] in the ballroom circuit, it is so obvious that if you have captured the great white way of living, or looking, or dressing, or speaking - you is a marvel.” –Pepper LaBeija
Paris Is Burning (Jennie Livingston, 1990) is probably best known for its fabulous #ballroom and #vogue-ㅤing scenes but in its heart, it tells the story of #family, of people who found their new ménage where they can live and love without fear and prejudice. While you may expect a fierce #documentary about #TransRights, or maybe merely a glamorous parade, you will be confronted with the flagrant #racism that made the #BallroomScene so essential for the Black and #Latinx #LGBT+ (comm)unity who founded it. And the tragedy of its demise in the name of pop culture even more heartbreaking.

#ParisIsBurning is a CLASSIC documentary. Watching it gives a broader understanding of how Black and Latine queer history has shaped popular culture.
Also, it has some of the best quotes and lines.
"O-P-U-L-E-N-C-E: Opulence! You own everything. Everything is yours!"
