In honor of Trans Awareness Week, join YWCA Lancaster for a film screening and discussion of “Paris is Burning.” This program is free and open to the public. This landmark documentary provides a vibrant snapshot of the late 1980s and early 1990s through the eyes of New York City’s African American and Latinx Harlem ballroom scene. Paris Is Burning offers an in-depth insight into a world rampant with homophobia and transphobia, racism, AIDS, and poverty. Through the film we learn the importance of a chosen family, resilience, and celebrating life through adversity. Join us after the film for a community facilitated discussion. We hope to see you there!
