The program includes the gritty doc Salt Mines which explores the lives of Sara, Gigi and Giovanna, three Latina transwomen who in the late 80s lived on the streets of Manhattan supporting their drug addictions through sex work; Adam Golub’s short on a trans sex worker running for office in Brazil Indianara’s House; and an excerpt of TransVisible on Bamby Salcedo, an activist fighting for trans immigrants’ rights.
Afterwards, Natalia Guerrero from New York City’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center will facilitate a half-hour workshop. A short discussion with the filmmakers and The Center's activists will end the night.
