Ultimately, Venus is still the star of the show, her authentic and unvarnished truth remaining eloquent despite the passage of more than 40 years.

Culture Mix

I'm Your Venus is a poignant and commendable documentary about how the loved ones of Paris Is Burning breakout star Venus Xtravanganza are trying to get justice for her unsolved murder. The movie is also a call to action for transgender rights.
