Director Kristen Lovell will be in conversation with artist and educator, SNJV, following the screening of The Stroll. Doors open at 5 p.m.
When Director Kristen Lovell moved to New York City in the 1990s and began to transition, she was fired from her job. With so few options to earn money to survive, Kristen, like many transgender women of color during this era, began sex work in an area known as The Stroll in the Meatpacking District of lower Manhattan, where trans women congregated and forged a deep camaraderie to protect each other from harassment and violence. Reuniting her sisters to tell this essential New York story from their first-hand experiences, Kristens intimate narration and interviews bring an astonishing array of archival material of bygone New York from the 1970s through the early 2000s to life.
The award-winning documentary, The Stroll, reminds us that trans women of color and sex workers continue to forge a path forward, thriving through their resilience, community organizing and sisterhood.
NR, 85 mins., 2023. Closed captions (CC) in English.
