À propos de ce film

In 1984, a scrappy little neighborhood in San Francisco - home to many low-income tenants and the heart of the gay male leather scene - faced destruction from the bulldozers of redevelopment and the AIDS crisis. The Folsom Street Fair was started to call attention to gentrification and raise money for AIDS charities. Folsom Forever tells the story of how this small street fair grew into the biggest outdoor kink and fetish event in the world, and managed to do a lot of good along the way.

Notes et avis

The documentary has a nice flow to it, never losing my interest. The shots of Folsom over the years are really cool to see. I appreciate the "kink as civil rights" discussion that was threaded throughout the film. San Francisco's leather and kink scene is a fascinating community.

This is a excellent documentary on the Folsom Street Fair held in San Francisco each year. It's one of the largest kink and leather festivals in the world.
