🎥 Film Synopsis: Kokomo City marks the debut of D. Smith, a two-time Grammy-nominated producer, singer, and songwriter. This groundbreaking documentary invites you into the lives of four Black transgender sex workers, Daniella Carter, Koko Da Doll, Liyah Mitchell, and Dominique Silver, as they bravely share their experiences in Atlanta and New York City. The film, unfiltered and wildly entertaining, is a powerful narrative breaking the walls of their profession.

Produced by Lena Waithe, Kokomo City received critical acclaim and won multiple awards, including the Sundance Film Festival’s NEXT Innovator Award, NEXT Audience Award, and the Berlinale’s Audience Award in the Panorama Documentary section.
