Queenie

Leaving July 31 • 19m

Directed by Cai Thomas • 2020 • United States

Queenie is a seventy-three-years-young Black lesbian who has called the Marcy Projects in Brooklyn home since 1988, but she is ready to move to a building that better meets her mobility, safety, and social needs as an aging elder. She applies to Stonewall Residences, New York City’s first affordable housing for LGBT elders, hopeful that she’ll be able to live out her final days in a new place she can call home.
