This award-winning 2015 drama-comedy follows best friends Sin-Dee and Alexandra in Los Angeles on Christmas Eve.
After getting released from a nearly month-long prison sentence, trans sex worker Sin-Dee Rella is received with a warning from her friend on Christmas Eve: her boyfriend has been cheating on her. What follows is a mad trek across most of Los Angeles to hunt down her boyfriend and give him a piece of her mind.
Giving new meaning to “life imitates art” Tangerine was well praised for its casting of sex workers turned actors who had a major input on the story development. Director Sean Baker met the two leads at a Los Angeles LBGT Center. The praise the film received for its portrayal of sex work and individual trans experiences is not only warranted but well-deserved.
