The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson

Johnson, who referred to herself as a'street queen,' was a legendary fixture in New York City's gay ghetto and a tireless advocate for LGBT pride since the Stonewall era. She co-founded Street Transvestites Action Revolutionaries (S.T.A.R.) with fellow trans icon Sylvia Rivera, a trans activist group based in the heart of Greenwich Village, New York City. The NYPD classified her death in 1992 a suicide, but friends never believed that version of events. The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson is structured as a whodunit, with activist Victoria Cruz serving as investigator and audience surrogate. It honors Johnson's enduring political legacy while attempting to ultimately solve the mystery of her unexpected death.
