MAJOR! chronicles the life and activism of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a Black transgender elder at the forefront of struggles for trans women of color for 40 years and counting. Miss Major is a veteran of the 1969 Stonewall riots, a survivor of Attica State prison, a mother of four, and the executive director of the Transgender Gender Variant Intersex Justice Project, empowering trans folks victimized by the prison-industrial complex. In 2016, MAJOR! garnered tremendous international praise, showing at over 60 film festivals around the world earning 19 awards for best documentary. SYPP is honored to have the privilege of showing this film, and strengthening the QTPOC community through Miss Major’s powerful story of resilience and resistance.
