Eskorpiônikas Contramanifesto

Logline
In a fusion of manifesto and performance, “Eskorpiônikas” spans three continents to follow a defiant collective—trans women, sex workers, and racialized and gender-dissident voices—as they confront and dismantle oppressive colonial and patriarchal systems. Through radical acts of resistance, compelling performances, and intimate interviews, the film intertwines their stories with haunting archival footage of brothels from the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush in Yukon and the 1990s in Brazil’s heartland.
