The Stroll

The Stroll is a documentary film that tells the history of New York's Meatpacking District from the perspective of transgender sex workers who lived and worked there. Filmmaker Kristen Parker Lovell reunites her community to recount the violence, policing, homelessness, and gentrification they overcame to build a movement for transgender rights. Through archival video and news footage, photographs, and oral histories from trans women who survived the 1980s and 1990s in New York City, the film provides a powerful and nuanced exploration of this often-overlooked chapter in LGBTQ+ history.
