SQIFF Free Pride Fundraiser: The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson
Thu 10 August 2017

Marsha P. Johnson
Who killed Marsha P. Johnson? When the beloved, self-described "street queen" of New York’s Christopher Street died in 1992, the NYPD called her death a suicide. Protests erupted but the police remained impassive and refused to investigate. Now, twenty-five years on, The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson examines Marsha’s death and her extraordinary life.
