About This Project

Summary

Two decades ago, the groundbreaking film THE AGGRESSIVES showcased the remarkable stories of Chin, Octavio, Trevon, and Kisha — a watershed moment of visibility for masc-presenting BIPOC individuals that gave voice to a community that hadn’t seen themselves authentically represented in cinema before. Now, more than 20 years later, four of the original protagonists reunite to reflect on their past and envision new futures.

Goals & Objectives

1) Amplify the reach of the film through engagement with influential organizations and thought leaders 2) Expand conversations about trans/gender non conforming visibility and allyship 3) Empower viewers to support the trans / gender non conforming community

Results & Impact

- Received a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Documentary - Reached over 150 schools, non-profit organizations and community groups with free access to the film for screenings and conversations - Collaborated with queer influencers to highlight resources during Pride month, driving over 38K views
