Tangerine takes gritty, witty look at trans sex workers
Tangerine star Mya Taylor and filmmaker Sean Baker on how to portray marginalized people in a sensitive way.
Pop culture can make poorly-understood people more visible and — if you don't botch it — better understood.
Both entertainment and enlightenment were on Sean Baker's mind when he shot Tangerine, a ground-breaking film about trans sex workers in Los Angeles. The filmmaker, as well as co-star Mya Taylor, join q guest host Talia Schlanger to discuss the witty, gritty story shot entirely on an iPhone.
