The year is 1990. Madonna, at the height of her fame and influence, embarks on her controversial Blond Ambition tour. Alongside her were seven young male dancers, who were catapulted into the public eye by the tour, and the film that accompanied it, Madonna: Truth Or Dare (released as In Bed With Madonna in the UK).
This documentary catches up with the six surviving dancers to explore the impact that the tour had on their lives, and examines their legacy within the gay community. Madonna is notable for her absence –though since three of her dancers subsequently took her to court, that’s perhaps to be expected. The approach could have been a little more hard-hitting, but it’s a moving account of the way one huge opportunity can unbalance the life that follows.
