It's consistently interesting to me when a documentary offers viewers a detailed perspective on a world usually hidden from those outside of it, and this first film by D. Smith really excels at that. This compelling study of the lives of four Black transsexual sex workers living in New York, Atlanta and Miami presents their narratives, their perspectives on what they do, and how they see themselves within the broader Black community. The movie also includes conversations with people who are clients or supporters of these women, exploring their relationships—sometimes as sources of attraction, other times as affectionate companions. Shot in black-and-white, the film doesn’t shy away from sharing the stories of its subjects, both through what they say and what's shown on screen; sensitive viewers should be aware of this. The film has received considerable recognition from film festivals and critics groups, including best documentary nominations for the Independent Spirit Awards, the Critics Choice Documentary Awards and the Directors Guild of America. That’s a remarkable record for a project that might not have been possible even recently. It really demonstrates how much progress we—and filmmaking—have made.
