Before YouTube, Lavender Lounge lit up public access TV with a ’90s queer and trans dance party and groundbreaking show, capturing San Francisco’s first Dyke March and the first official Pride video. Thirty years later, creator Mark Kliem brings rare footage to light, reuniting the original crew with younger generations when queer history is again under attack.

This profile of trailblazing transgender choreographer and activist Sean Dorsey features powerful dance sequences to reinforce the fact that trans, gender-nonconforming, and queer people are strong, wise, powerful, beautiful, and visionary artists and leaders.

A look at the aftermath and investigation behind the massive 1999 Tulia, Texas drug bust, which resulted in the arrest of 46 people, 39 of whom were African American.

The Oakland musicians of SOL Development use hip-hop, jazz and soul to tell stories about the effects of policing, mass incarceration and gun violence, and the band members work to create spaces for healing in Black and brown communities. But when they're shaken by unspeakable losses of their own, they must look inward and lean on each other to navigate circumstances that alter their lives forever.
