Directed by Kristen Lovell and Zackary Drucker (HBO’s The Lady and The Dale), this powerful and poignant documentary traces the history of transgender sex workers in New York City’s Meatpacking District from the 1970s to the early 2000s. Sharing her own firsthand experiences, Kristen reunites with her sisters to illustrate how trans women protected each other from harassment and violence, even as policing pushed them out of the neighborhood and threatened their survival. A film about transgender life and a startling account of gentrification, The Stroll serves as a reminder that trans women of color and sex workers continue to forge a path forward, thriving through their resilience, community organizing, and sisterhood.
