The People’s Beach

This film is currently not available.   
One of the city's legendary cruising spots, Jacob Riis Park in the Rockaways, is today, despite encroaching gentrification, the public space where queer and trans New Yorkers, especially of color, can be most comfortable in the least clothing. Juxtaposing priceless archival material with sunny and sensual new footage, J. Wortham's documentary is a history, a celebration, and a rallying cry.
