In the post-industrial city of New Bedford, Massachusetts, an 18
year-old entered a gay bar named Puzzles, and attacked its
patrons with a hatchet and gun. As a result, two very different
communities are threatened. The loose circle of disaffected
white youth who call themselves Juggalos, — followers of the
Detroit-based white-rap/ band Insane Clown Posse (ICP) and the
vibrant but fragile oasis for drag performers and working class
gay men and lesbians. PUZZLES charts these divergent journeys
as they unfold, and along the way, PUZZLES reveals the deep
83
alienation that many American youth struggle with and its
counter part: the abiding need for family. (length: 53 minutes)
