    Documentary

    Overview:

    With her legendary "Blond Ambition Tour" in 1990, Madonna once again shocked the world, simulating masturbation on stage, among other provocations. At the height of her fame, the star had also taken a stand for the rights of homosexuals, hard hit by AIDS and discrimination. The subject touched her personally: six of the seven dancers who surrounded her on stage at the time were gay. By tracing the careers of these artists before, during and after this memorable tour, this documentary sheds new light on the history of the LGBT community in the United States. Reunited for the first time twenty-five years later, these dancers tell their respective stories, between pride and the difficulty of coming out, and evoke their relationship with Madonna with a sometimes bittersweet nostalgia.
