I just finished watching “The Death and Life of Marsha P Johnson”... spent the last twenty minutes or so with tears running down my face. Unexpectedly, it was Sylvia Rivera’s story, woven into the larger tale that broke my heart. Islam Nettles story too, illustrates how little has changed for transgendered women since Marsha’s body was found.
[Netflix] The LGBTQ + movement has many victims, some of them victims of oblivion. Marsha P. Johnson was one of them, and although this documentary does not offer too much information about her (despite the title), it reminds us that the Gay Pride has been built burying in memory to some of its promoters. It is the fate of trans people, to be victims of transphobia within their own community.

I liked it wasn’t just about Marsha’s life, which would have been a great doc by itself. But it was even better with tying her story with the fact that still today Transgender killings are not treated as important by the police or the public. Shocking so little has changed.
