The Burden of History and the Phenomenal Women of “Miss Juneteenth”
A complex, realistic, and loving mother-daughter relationship is at the heart of this story about Black pageants and the fight for a better future.
3 of a Kind (2012)
Victor comes on to Anna like a force of nature. "I'm the man of your dreams," he tells her, but for the next fifteen years of abuse, Victor is really the man of her nightmares. But Victor has his own share of nightmares...nightmares that he nourishes with visits to his wheel-chaired sister Claire. Victor distributes heroin under the backdrop of his glittering casino, working with his Buenos Aires contact and reluctant business partner, Giovanni, whom he visits frequently. Since Victor wants to control his wife, he has Michael watch her while he's away. But things get really juicy when Michael and Anna become more than just friends. As Victor catches wind of their torrid affair, he orders his hired femme fatale Christina to kill Anna. Now Anna must face the biggest challenge of her life and play the game, or die trying.

This is especially important as the Black trans community has been shown in studies to face the highest level of discrimination amongst general trans and non-binary groups. That is why it’s so crucial that we amplify their voices through any way we can, storytelling being a great medium to do so.
