Folsom Forever

In 1984, a scrappy little neighborhood in San Francisco was home to many low-income residents and the heart of the gay male leather scene faced destruction from the bulldozers of redevelopment and the AIDS crisis. The Folsom Street Fair was started to call attention to gentrification and to raise money for AIDS charities. This documentary tells the story of how this small street fair grew into the biggest outdoor kink and fetish event in the planet, and managed to do a lot of good along the way.
