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 City’s African American and Latinx HarIem drag-ball scene. Made over seven years, Paris ls Burning offers an intimate portrait of rival fashion "houses," from fierce contests for trophies to house mothers offering sustenance in a worId rampant with homophobia, transphobia, racism, AIDS, and poverty.
