Introduction
Marsha P. Johnson was an American activist, a prominent figure in the 20th-century gay liberation movement, and a self-identified drag queen.
In 1992, Johnson was found dead in the Hudson River. Police reports listed suicide as the cause of death, but members of the LGBTQ+ community suspected hate crime and possible homicide.
More than two decades later, activist Victoria Cruz tried to reopen the case and find out more about the circumstances of Johnson's death.
The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson is a documentary about Cruz's efforts to bring justice for Marsha P. Johnson and honor her memory.
