Black trans filmmaker D. Smith has made a movie about four Black trans sex workers, shot in shiny, stunning high contrast black and white…and has made Kokomo City a total triumph. Daniella Carter, Dominique Silver, Koko Da Doll and Liyah Mitchell are all stunning, and their stories, as captured and depicted by Smith are diverse: sometimes funny, sometimes scary, always human, vital, and above all, frank. In fact, Smith’s four subjects seem like born storytellers…and they have stories to tell that you may not have heard before. Entering Kokomo City is an unforgettable experience. —KE Sponsored by Wild Clover Café & Market
