Allegra Madsen is the Executive Director at Frameline San Francisco LGBTQ+ Film Festival, the largest and longest-running queer film festival in the world.
Yolonda Ross, Davenia McFadden, Rain Phoenix, Ella Joyce,
This terrific, rarely seen women’s prison drama from Cheryl Dunye (The Watermelon Woman) stars Yolonda Ross (Whitney, The Chi) as a tough young butch named Treasure seeking out her long-lost lifer mother in a maximum security lockup, while also pursuing the beautiful femme Sugar (to the annoyance of Sugar’s girlfriend). This suspenseful, gritty drama thoughtfully grapples with the complex racial dynamics of a diverse array of incarcerated women. And, like the Netflix series it predated by more than a decade (Orange Is the New Black), a massive amount of lesbian drama takes center stage.
