Plot summary

Describing herself as a 'street queen,' Johnson was a legendary fixture in New York City’s gay ghetto and a tireless voice for LGBT pride since the days of Stonewall, who along with fellow trans icon Sylvia Rivera, founded Street Transvestites Action Revolutionaries (S.T.A.R.), a trans activist group based in the heart of NYC’s Greenwich Village. Her death in 1992 was declared a suicide by the NYPD, but friends never accepted that version of events. Structured as a whodunit, with activist Victoria Cruz cast as detective and audience surrogate, The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson celebrates the lasting political legacy of Johnson, while seeking to finally solve the mystery of her unexplained death.

There was a lot going on in Marsha

There was a lot going on in Marsha P. Johnson's life and it was important, especially to the LGBT community. Solving the mystery surrounding her tragic death seems almost impossible now, more than 25 years later. It's worth the try, but the results may not be so satisfying.

High rates of murders of transwomen is a statistic fact. It is sad both for the individuals and a society that allows it. This gay rights documentary reminds us of both the history and current day struggles.

This 2017 documentary 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 (STAR). The film centers on activist Victoria Cruz's investigation into Johnson's death in 1992, which was initially ruled a suicide by police despite suspicious circumstances. It's part investigative and part biographical and really illuminating and as usual with movies about this subject VERY hard to watch. There are a lot of people that are just evil and don't believe in equal rights for all and this is another in a long line of films that present facts about this narrative. Be nice to each other. Final Score: 9/10
