Kiki (2016) is a powerful documentary that reveals the survival struggle of contemporary LGBTQ+ youth, both on stage and amid the harsh realities of everyday life. It intimately and strikingly portrays the journeys of Black and Latinx queer individuals as they search for identity, build solidarity, and claim the right to tell their own stories. Blending the vibrant energy of vogue performances with raw personal narratives, the film offers not just a visual spectacle but also a strong political and emotional message: “Not about us, without us!”
