Join us at 6:00 pm for a happy hour at Alphabet City. Before our feature film Apolo, we will be showing a special screening of Thorns and Roses, a short film from Nepal, with ticket proceeds supporting relief efforts following the recent tsunami. After Apolo, stay for a community story circle and conversation.

About the Film

Apolo follows the journey of a family formed by a transgender couple, revealing the nuances of love, daily life, and the constant struggle for recognition and respect. The documentary offers an intimate look into their family dynamics, inviting us to rethink our notions of affection, care, and society itself. As we accompany Apolo’s pregnancy, we are led to reflect on the challenges and dramas faced by the couple — Isis Broken and Lourenzo Gabriel. The father is the one giving birth, and society is not yet ready for that reality.

Directors: Tainá Müller and Ísis Broken
