Transgender and gender variant musicians share their stories of gender performance onstage and off in Madsen Minax's new rockumentary. This film is not "Gender 101." While Riot Acts acutely addresses the undeniably political nature of gender identities and bodies, it steers clear of portraying trans experiences as tragedy or anomaly. Instead, inspiration and joy take the spotlight as rock, folk, hiphop and other artists make the music that represents their unique identities and creative passions. Featured interviewees include: Ryka Aoki from Los Angeles; Anderson Toone, Lipstick Conspiracy, Katastrophe, Basic Fix and Trannysaurus Sex from San Francisco; Ryder Richardson, Seattle; Tough Tough Skin and Venus Demars of Minneapolis; Adhamh Roland of St. Louis; Jessica Xavier in DC; The Shondes and Novice Theory in Brooklyn, NY; The Cliks of Toronto and more.
