Harlem Pride: Mama Gloria

Lucina Fischer, 2020, 76min, USA

MAMA GLORIA centers Gloria Allen, a 73-year-old trans woman based in Chicago, Illinois. The film shares her life and recollections of growing up on the south side with an extremely supportive family, her childhood realization that she was a girl, time spent in the drag ball scene, her eventual coming out and gender reassignment surgery, and her later career as the proprietor of a charm school.

Luchina Fisher will join us for a post-screening Q & A
