Venus Xtraveganza (nee Pellagatti) was born in 1965 and strangled to death in 1988. She was featured in the film "Paris is Burning"
The documentary "I'm your Venus" is about her brothers trying to get her a legal name change posthumously and affirm her gender identity plus discover more details about the murder.
It's an emotional film which shows tough men who weren't raised to comprehend this issue come to terms with her murder and deal with the injustice in the only way they can so many years after the death of a free spirit who was ahead of her time.
On Netflix.
