Abstract
Happy Birthday, Marsha! commemorates Black trans activist and performer Marsha "Pay it No Mind" Johnson and her role in instigating the 1969 anti-policing riots at the Stonewall Inn, a watershed event for the gay liberation movement. The film interweaves imagined scenes with found archival footage to counter the endemic erasure of trans women of color from narratives of political resistance.
Starring Independent Spirit Award winner Mya Taylor (Tangerine) as Johnson with cinematography by Sundance winner Arthur Jafa and an original score by Geo Wyeth.
