This Movie Is About.
Wiki.
The Sons of Tennessee Williams is a 2010 American historical documentary film produced and directed by Tim Wolff. The film spans five decades documenting the gay carnival balls in New Orleans, and the efforts of the gay community to celebrate Mardi Gras, without being discriminated against and without fear of police intervention. It stars Charles Maddox, Tommy Dietsch, George Roth, Don Stratton, Jimmy Keyes, Mike Moreau, John Henry Bogie, Albert Carey, Bianca Del Rio and additional krewe club members that share their memories through interviews and archival footage.
The film had its world premiere at Frameline Film Festival on June 26, 2010. It was released to theaters on October 7, 2011. Wolff said the title of the film came about as a twist on The Daughters of the American Revolution; he considers Williams a hero and inspiration, and said he was "the most famous out American at the time, telling the story of gay men to a much larger audience".
