Griffin-Gracy.
Created by Annalise Ophelian and StormMiguel Florez Major! takes a deeper look at the life and activism of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a veteran of the Stonewall Rebellion and a survivor of Attica State Prison. Miss Major is currently the executive director of the San Francisco-based Transgender GenderVariant Intersex Justice Project (TGIJP). The group advocates for trans women of color in and outside of the prison system.
MAJOR! is a documentary film exploring the life and campaigns of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a formerly incarcerated Black transgender elder and activist who has been fighting for the rights of trans women of color for over 40 years. At the heart of MAJOR! is a social justice framework that puts the subjects at the center of their story. MAJOR! is being produced in collaboration with Miss Major, the film’s participants, and a transPOC Community Advisory Board to ensure that these stories, which are so often marginalized, exoticized, or played for tragic drama, retain the agency and humanity of those who tell them
