Add to selectionDownload PDF
 

A queer rewriting of the events surrounding the 1968 National Democratic Convention from the point of view of French writer Jean Genet. Along the way Genet will meet, amongst others, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, the Yippies, the Black Panther Party and the Chicago Police force... Ultimately, the video is about the difficulty of aligning political and sexual desires.
