The unconventional Christmas seems to be a theme for us this holiday season. Join us as we discuss this unique offering by director/writer Sean Baker and co-writer Chris Bergoch. Trans sex workers Alexandra and Sin-Dee are our two principal elves traversing the environs of a vibrant and gritty backdrop of L.A. in search of some comeuppance, and perchance a crumb of Christmas spirit. Mya Taylor and Kitana Kiki Rodriguez give bitingly funny, authentic, and moving performances as the film’s locus. Join us for a hot toddy and grab yourself some Apple Cider donuts for this one. “Zero One Zero” Davidge, Stephonik Youth https://open.spotify.com/track/69OY3nknNu6RWWdMZIJT4I?si=1LaIm0FbSvibEiPn5cl4oQ&context=spotify%3Asearch Verge article link: https://www.theverge.com/2015/1/28/7925023/sundance-film-festival-2015-tangerine-iphone-5s Urban Justice Fact Sheet: https://swp.urbanjustice.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2020/08/Fact-Sheet-Sexual-Violence-Against-Sex-Workers-1-1-1.pdf WaPo article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/social-issues/transgender-sex-workers-feel-under-attack-these-women-are-working-to-protect-their-own/2019/09/16/2cfa1856-d58b-11e9-86ac-0f250cc91758_story.html
