OCTOBER
Meet the Stars of HBO’s “The Stroll”
Presented by:
Stonewall National Museum, Archives & Library (SNMAL)
Dates:
Thursday October 12 | 6:00p -10:00p – Screening
Friday October 13 | 7:00p -9:00p – Meet the Stars
Location:
Fort Lauderdale, FL | Stonewall, 1300 East Sunrise Blvd.
Event Details:
“The Stroll” is a poignant documentary on the lives of those trans women of color who survived the streets of New York City’s Meatpacking District. It is wonderfully shot, and like all great art, touches your heart.
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, Kristen’s intimate narration and interviews bring an astonishing array of archival material of bygone New York from the 1970s through the early 2000s to life.
Thursday evening will feature a screening of this powerful documentary and Friday night will include fun and mayhem, conversation, food and drink with the stars of “The Stroll.”
THE EVENTS ARE FREE, BUT YOU MUST RSVP HERE.
