The Stroll

About This Movie

The Stroll is a poignant documentary that dives deep into the often-overlooked narrative of New York’s Meatpacking District, seen through the eyes of transgender sex workers. Zackary Drucker’s direction brings a raw authenticity, while Kristen Lovell’s personal connection adds layers of intimacy. The film captures the grit of the streets, the harsh realities of violence and policing, yet also finds moments of resilience and community. It’s not just about the struggles but the vibrancy of a life lived on the margins, and how gentrification erases stories. The pacing feels reflective, allowing these voices to resonate. What stands out is the candidness, and the way it invites you into a world often kept behind closed doors.
