P.S. Burn this Letter Please
Michael Seligman & Jennifer Tiexiera - 2020 - 101 Minutes - English Spoken - English Subtitles
P.S. Burn This Letter Please is a moving documentary that brings to light a forgotten piece of LGBTQ+ history, built around a cache of personal letters found in a storage unit nearly six decades after they were written. These letters give a glimpse into New York’s drag scene of the 1950s, a time when simply being yourself could mean facing intense violence or even being cast out of society.
The documentary brings together personal accounts and rare archival footage, showcasing a vibrant underground world that history came close to losing entirely. P.S. Burn This Letter Please honors the courage it once took, and, for so many, still takes, to live openly as ourselves.
