SHAKEDOWN (2018) dir. Leilah Weinraub ‘Shakedown’ was a series of parties founded by and for black women in Los Angeles that featured go-go dancing and strip shows for the city’s lesbian underground scene. Inspired by trans woman Mahogany who, as the mother of the scene, presided over queer strip shows and balls for non-heterosexual audiences in the 1980s, butch Ronnie Ron created, produced and presented the new shows. In them, the largely female clientele slipped dollar notes into lap dancers’ panties while celebrating lesbian sexuality to pulsating hip-hop beats. (link in title)
