The Sons of Tennessee Williams

A MUST SEE if you're interested in gay history, Mardi Gras, civil rights or fabulous outfits. The official history of New Orleans' gay community. This film is an important document in the history of New Orleans Mardi Gras Krewes, as well a significant testament of the life of homosexuals in America before the gay rights movement. Told at an important moment, the members of the original gay Krewes tell how they cleverly organized the first gay groups that would be recognized by politicians, while throwing fantastic balls with outrageous costumes. This shows the New Orleans gay community lived their truth, changed their community for the better, and looked glamorous while doing it. Hilarious and touching!
