The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson
The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson uses the belated investigation into an activist's murder as the framework for a sobering look at the ongoing battle for equal rights. The film chronicles Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, prominent figures in gay liberation and transgender rights movement in New York City from the 1960s to the 1990s and co-founders of Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries. The film centers on activist Victoria Cruz's 2017 investigation into Johnson's death in 1992, which was initially ruled a suicide by police despite suspicious circumstances.
