Angry about the gross white- and cis-washing of “Stonewall?” Channel your frustration from hate-watching the trailer into donating or supporting “Happy Birthday, Marsha,” our June brunch honoree, an upcoming documentary currently in post-production.
In the words of the directors:
“Happy Birthday, Marsha! is the story of two best friends, Marsha P. Johnson & Sylvia Rivera, in the hours before the Stonewall riots… It’s a hot summer day in June, 1969. Marsha throws herself a birthday party and dreams of performing at a club in town, but no one shows up. Sylvia, Marsha’s best friend, distraught from an unsuccessful introduction between her lover and her family, gets so stoned she forgets about the party. Marsha and Sylvia eventually meet at the Stonewall Inn to celebrate Marsha’s birth. When the police arrive to raid the bar, Marsha and Sylvia are among the first to fight back.”
