"Cherry Grove Stories" is a documentary that showcases rare archive footage of the iconic Fire Island beach houses and their history as a haven for generations of gay men, lesbians, and drag queens. The film features swishy young men in demi-drag, amateur theatricals, and drag queens from a time when it was illegal to serve homosexuals in bars in the USA. Character appearances by notable figures are not specified, but the documentary explores how Cherry Grove shaped the modern gay community despite facing challenges such as the AIDS epidemic.
