Program Description
Event Details
This year's Summer Reading theme is Reading Colors Your World, so let's brighten our day by virtually watching and commenting on a film together! In honor of PRIDE month, tune in to watch Pier Kids. Register for login information.
On the Christopher Street Pier in New York City, homeless queer and trans youth of color forge friendships and chosen families, withstanding tremendous amounts of abuse while working to carve out autonomy in their lives. With intimate, immersive access to these fearless young people, Pier Kids highlights the precarity and resilience of a community many choose to ignore. Truer Than Fiction Award, Independent Spirit Awards.
