Description
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, nearly 20 years later, the same four protagonists reunite to reflect on their past and envision new futures.
Interwoven with fresh voices from the wider queer BIPOC community, Beyond The Aggressives: 25 Years Later continues to challenge normative ideas about gender through its profound celebration of growth, resilience, and shared humanity.
