Polari: The Lost Language of Gay Men

2018Documentary

There was a time when the persecuted gay men of Britain might greet each other with "bona to varda your dolly old eek"; a common phrase in their secret slang language of Polari. The 'Polari' documentary explores the sad story behind the camp cryptolect, and profiles the men who spoke it, as well as those who rejected it.
