An intimate documentary portrait of transgender sex workers' resilience, survival, and collective resistance in the face of violence, marginalization, and urban displacement.

The history of New York’s Meatpacking District, told from the perspective of transgender sex workers who lived and worked there. Filmmaker Kristen Lovell, who walked “The Stroll” for a decade, reunites her community to recount the violence, policing, homelessness, and gentrification they overcame to build a movement for transgender rights.
