MAJOR! Dir. Annalise Ophelian 90 mins 2016 US *UK Premiere + Annalise Ophelian, Director & StormMiguel Florez, Editor/ Co-Producer will be present! MAJOR! is a documentary film exploring the life and campaigns of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy - a veteran of the Stonewall Rebellion and a survivor of Attica State Prison, a former sex worker, an elder and a community leader and human rights activist. She is simply “Mama” to many in her community. Her radiant character strengthens those around her as they struggle and organise against police and prison brutality. If history is held within us, embodied in our loves and losses, then Miss Major is a living library, a resource for generations to come to more fully understand the rich heritage of the Queer/LGBT Rights movement. She founded the renowned Transgender GenderVariant Intersex Justice Project (TGIJP) that advocates for trans women (+ GV & I) of colour in and outside of prison and we are delighted to have both StormMiguel Florez from the TGI Justice Project Leadership Team and the director of Major! Annalise Ophelian present to take questions/discuss at this screening. Film with subtitles for deaf/hard of hearing audience members and Q & A + intro with BSL interpretation.
