Underground film maker Beth B shines a light on the secret world of the burlesque scene in New York.

Now Beth B has returned to the genre that made her infamous to deliver a candid new documentary, Exposed, chronicling the life an times of many of NYC’s underground performance artist.
Exposed provides an in-depth look at the subculture of contemporary, ground-breaking, new burlesque performers in New York today.
The film tells a story of character – a montage of big personalities who have held onto the classical art of burlesque and driven it to completely different extremes. In the documentary, many of the performers are looking to promote their social perspectives on their attitudes towards identity and gender.
