Directed by Daniel Peddle • 2005 • United States
Starring Kisha Batista, Marquise Vilson, Octavio Sanders
Filmed over the course of five years, this bold, candid documentary follows the journeys of six masculine-presenting, genderqueer New Yorkers who defy labels in their quest to live authentically. Capturing both the struggles they face as queer people of color and the vibrant community—rooted in the Black and Latinx ball and club scenes—that sustains them, THE AGGRESSIVES gives voice to these myriad and complex expressions of masculinity.
