Zebras In America

Popcorn Eschaton 28 - 'Paris Is Burning' And '80 Blocks From Tiffany's'


Listen Later

Scott and John take a trip to New York City with a pair of time capsule documentaries! They focus on the legendary 1990 film 'Paris is Burning,' how it captures an inimitable celebration of queer life and queer spaces, and the troubling outside-of-the-art aspects of the film. Then they shift to '80 Blocks from Tiffany's,' a chronicle of gang life in the South Bronx in the late 1970s. They discuss why two White Dudes are talking about these documents of very specific non-white spaces, as well as what makes a captivating documentary.
