Thee Debauchery Ball tells the story of a single house music event that was intended to pay reverence to the original intention of House Music culture of Chicago and grew to become the only fetish-themed, BDSM friendly, body-positive, house party in the city.  

It has helped redefine Black music, community, art, and sexuality. All topics that are often maligned in the Black community. The documentary tells the personal story of the founder, the DJs and the participants who look upon this event as a bastion of freedom and an escape from preconceived notions.

40 streams of Thee debauchery ball will be available for a special streaming on the virtual cinema on July 30!
