THE AGGRESSIVES and BEYOND THE AGGRESSIVES

2 Episodes

Filmed in New York City between 1997 and 2003, Daniel Peddle’s THE AGGRESSIVES broke new ground in cinematic representation with its bold, unfiltered immersion into the lives of trans men and masculine-presenting lesbians of color who defy social expectations in their quest to live authentically. Peddle revisits the trailblazing subjects of the original film in BEYOND THE AGGRESSIVES: 25 YEARS LATER, a timely, intimate update that captures their ongoing struggles and hard-won victories in a world shaped by the turbulence of ICE arrests and evolving attitudes toward trans rights and health care.
