She is simply \u201cMama\u201d to many in her community. Her personal story and activism for transgender civil rights intersects LGBT struggles for justice and equality from the 1960s to today. At the center of her activism is her fierce advocacy for her girls, trans women of color who have survived police brutality and incarceration in men\u2019s jails and prisons.<\/p>\n<p>MAJOR! is more than just a biographical documentary: It\u2019s an investigation into critical issues of how the Prison Industrial Complex represents a widespread and systematic civil rights violation, as well as a historical portrait of diverse LGBT communities, told with love and humor, and personalized through the lens of a vibrant and charismatic woman. Through first-person narration and innovative visual storytelling, MAJOR! seeks to create a living, breathing history of a community&#8217;s struggle and resilience, as seen and experienced by those who lived it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Runtime: <\/strong>90 minutes<\/p>\n<p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> 2009<\/p>\n<p><strong>Director:\u00a0<\/strong>Annalise Ophelian<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/145160885\" width=\"775\" height=\"436\" frameborder=\"0\" title=\"MAJOR! official trailer\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Date &amp; Time:\u00a0Sunday September 18th, 11am Location:\u00a0Academy of Music\u00a0Theatre, 274 Main Street, Northampton, MA 01060 Synopsis:\u00a0MAJOR! explores the life and campaigns of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a formerly&hellip; <span class=\"read-more\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/outfestontheroad\/major\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">&#8220;MAJOR!&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-73","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/outfestontheroad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/73","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/outfestontheroad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/outfestontheroad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/outfestontheroad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/outfestontheroad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/outfestontheroad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/73\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":479,"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/outfestontheroad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/73\/revisions\/479"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/outfestontheroad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
