P.S. Burn This Letter Please is a documentary film about New York Citys drag community. A box of letters, held in secret for nearly 60 years, ignites a 5-year exploration into a part of LGBT history that has never been told. The letters open a window into a forgotten world where being yourself meant breaking the law and where the penalties for masquerading as a woman were swift and severe. The government sought to destroy them, then history tried to erase them, now they tell their story for the first time.
