Wicked documentary about the black and gay Harlem Balls in New York, where the contestants compete in drag for various categories including Best Dressed Butch Queens, Evening Wear and Executive. Made over three years between 1986 and 1989 it portrays a section of society fighting back with ironic revenge on straight culture. Both funny and tragic, empowering and celebratory, this is an essential film to see. These balls were where vogueing was created dancing to MFSB's 'Love Is The Message" It's all here. Essential!
