SUBLIME CINEMA #681 -KOKOMO CITY

D. Smith was homeless when she started shooting this documentary about the sex industry, and we can sense the fury and rawness of the conditions under which this film was made. Art can sometimes be a savior.

But not for everybody. Koko, one of the main subjects of this movie was murdered soon after filming - the victim of a hate crime. The film is dedicated to her.

I watched Kokomo City (2023, D. Smith aka Koko Da Doll) last night. It's a documentary where four black trans sex workers talk about transness and blackness and their work.

It's really solid, I thought the thing about women needing to suck some man's dick to get into a nice restaurant was a strong part. Also includes a discussion of how transness is a threat to patriarchy from a black perspective, which was really interesting to hear

Certainly, the stand out moment was listening to Koko, who was murdered only a couple weeks ago, saying that she needs to leave sex work or it will kill her like it has killed all her friends. Her murder definitely changed the feeling of the movie. May she rest in power.
