Description

THE STROLL creates a cinematic ode to the history of New York City’s meatpacking district, told by the transgender women of color who lived and worked there before and during its identity-transforming gentrification. Shepherded with affection and joy by co-directors Kristen Lovell and Zackary Drucker (Transparent), the film allows its subjects to tell their complicated stories on their own terms, creating a historical document that unflinchingly recalls ugly truths about racism and policing, but never allows them to overshadow the stirring declaration of self-affirmation of the women who worked the stroll.
