Words

Exploring the beautiful, historic and ever evolving landscape of America's busiest city, Manhattan, twenty-one diverse nationalities, backgrounds and personalities share how their stories break down the labels placed upon them. These New Yorker's are contextualized in a range of environments from Drag Performers in the nightlife club scene to the Gay Police Officers trying to change the force; the legal field fighting for under represented groups to the fashion icons trying to push beyond gender. "Words" investigates the dissonance between self and socially constructed identities and gives the viewer freedom to be themselves.

This film features exclusive interviews from a variety of artists, activists, icons, and innovators, whom all are living their truth in a world that told them they couldn’t. “Words” dissects, deconstructs and pays powerful tribute to the language we use to shape the many facets of our identities as men, women, artists, New Yorkers, and most importantly humans.
