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, Sylvia, and friends 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.

Happy Birthday, Marsha!

A bit messy and the acting is a bit stiff/uncanny, but I do love the mix of archival footage and fiction-documentary. Also, the psychedelic feel/look that comes in and out is a really nice touch.

*Marsha P. Johnson is one hell of a queen
