Her investigation becomes a journey through dusty archives, gritty street protests, and intimate testimonies, constructing a portrait not just of one life, but of an entire LGBTQ+ liberation movement.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

This documentary is less an investigation and more an act of resurrection. It fiercely reclaims Marsha P. Johnson's rightful place in history, stolen by decades of neglect and erasure.

What lingers after the credits is the raw, unresolved anger of a community fighting for its heroes, and the haunting understanding that some cases remain open until justice is served. — MovieFinder Editorial
