Pier Kids is a 2019 American documentary film first shown at Outfest 2019.[3] The film follows three young queer and transgender New Yorkers who frequent the Christopher Street Pier in Manhattan.[3] The film was directed by Elegance Bratton .[4] The film premiered on POV on PBS on August 2, 2021.[5]
Pier Kids explores the lives of Black, homeless queer and trans youth who call the Christopher Street Pier in NYC their home.[1] It was filmed over five years, taking place mainly in 2011, 2012, and three years later in 2016.[3] The youth are interviewed over these years to show how time and experience changes. The movie shines a light on how queer people of color utilize spaces to create a chosen family, as well as highlights the police presence in a community that relies on sex work for their main form of income.[5]
Distribution [ edit ]
The movie premiered in Los Angeles as part of Outfest 2019.[3] It was later acquired by PBS' documentary series POV to start showing August 2, 2021.[1] [5]
Reception [ edit ]
Henry Giardina of Into says "These stories aren't easy to watch, but Pier Kids must be seen."[5] [6] Eric Langberg of Queer Review says "Sometimes the film's stark portrayal of sex work , fear of HIV , and general life on the street is reminiscent of Larry Clark 's Kids , except Pier Kids doesn't sensationalize a single moment or use any of it for shock value the way the fictionalized Kids did."[5]
