Strike a Pose (2016)

I hadn’t really gone into this expecting much, but it wasn’t so long ago that I first watched Truth or Dare and I’m a sucker for a good Where Are They Now? story. The film offered much more than I would have expected. I found the brotherhood shared by the dancers even to this day to be inspiring. The documentary doesn’t shy from showing both the good and bad that these men experienced before and after their work with Madonna. Many of the stories shared were a good supplement to the various stories set during the 1980s AIDS crisis that I’ve been reading recently. It was powerful seeing many of the men detailing the struggle of when and how to be out with regards to their sexuality or diagnosis.
