Directed by: Margaret Gilpin, Luis Felipe Bernaza
Overview
"This award winning, remarkable documentary offers a rare view of day-to-day life for gays and transvestites in Cuba today. Butterflies on the scaffold follows a group of working class drag queens in the Havana suburb of La Güinera. They gained their neighbors' respect and became an integral part of the community by forging a coalition with the female leaders of the local construction brigade and performing in the workers' dining room."--Container
