Alice Junior (Alice Júnior)

Directed by Gil Baroni

Alice Júnior is a cheerful, spoiled trans YouTuber with everything she could want: a loving dad, a vlog, almost winning Teen Top Model, and a cat named Rhinoceros. But her life changes when her dad moves them from vibrant Recife to a small conservative town and an old-fashioned Catholic school. Despite the initial hostility, Alice stays true to herself, challenges conservative views, and goes after her much-anticipated first kiss.

Alice Júnior es una YouTuber trans alegre y mimada, con todo lo que podría desear: un papá amoroso, un vlog de consejos, casi ganar Teen Top Model y un gato llamado Rinoceronte. Pero su mundo cambia cuando su papá decide mudarse de la vibrante Recife a un pequeño pueblo conservador y un colegio católico tradicional. A pesar de la hostilidad inicial, Alice no se deja intimidar. Con su estilo único, desafía las ideas conservadoras de su entorno y busca algo muy esperado: su primer beso.

Will include a conversation and Q&A with Sarah Wagner York, Brazilian intellectual, journalist and activist. You are also invited to read her recent article to better understand the context of the film Alice Júnior, and the connections between political circumstances in Brazil, the United States and the trans community in both countries.
