TRANS LIVES: UNFILTERED

Kokomo City is a vivid, delicious and slick documentary about the lives of four Black trans women sex workers across New York and Atlanta. Daniella Carter, Koko Da Doll, Liyah Mitchell and Dominique Silver are all attempting to better their lot in a world that is dehumanising and violent for trans people. This frank and unfiltered account, told in the women’s own unvarnished words, is often unflinching about the coercion and structural deprivation that has led these girls to make their living in this way.
