Review:

It is a positive documentary that allows us to know more about LGBTQ+ racialized youth. It makes us discover the current Ball culture. Many problems are tackled in this documentary: police brutality, homophobia, racism, the precariousness of people living with AIDS, transphobia. All of it is well presented, but even though we feel the harsh reality of the situation, the youth has hope. This documentary doesn’t leave us on a sad note.
