In 1984, a scrappy little neighborhood in San Francisco, home to many low-income tenants and the heart of the gay male leather scene, faced destruction from the bulldozers of redevelopment and the AIDS crisis. The Folsom Street Fair was started to call attention to gentrification and raise money for AIDS charities. The film tells the story of how this small street fair grew into the biggest outdoor kink and fetish event in the world, and managed to do a lot of good along the way.
