An experimental film, Happy Birthday is not rooted like traditional documentaries in fact, based on an exploration of feelings evocative of a historical  moment for LGBT community in the late 60's in NYC and places Marsha P Johnson and Sylvia Rivera on places that they had not actually lived  like the legendary CHelsea Hotel rather than a place like Jane West Hotel or Hotel 17. The two actors playing Marsha and Sylvia are pitch perfect in capturing the street inflections pof both characters. watched and enjoy
