Valerie

Film as a living document of life gains new meaning with this intimate portrayal of Valerie, trans sex worker turned housewife, who defines herself—her dreams, her history, her lived experiences, her work, her love, and her desires—  for herself.


The transformative, cinema-verite portrait set in Ohio is a remarkable time capsule of trans lives in a moment when even the act of ‘cross-dressing’ was punishable by law.
