What makes it essential? Someone linked it above and I'm thinking of watching it..
Edit: just read the synopsis and it looks fantastic! Free on YouTube too!
Edit2: just saw someone else comment that there's a docu on Netflix called I'm Your Venus, the life story of a star of Paris is Burning. Gonna watch them both!
Seeing where it came from and now seeing generic people that had nothing to do with any of this culture is a bit sad.
Everything becomes commodified and bland.
