Why Make This Movie?
Right now in America, hate crimes are at the highest rate ever measured in American history.
Trans folk of color experience the most extreme violence in America.
On social media heterosexual and cis-gender people are quick to demonize and discriminate and devalue and dismiss the lives of gender queer, gender non-conforming, two spirit, non-binary, and especially trans people.
Nike Uche Kadri wants to make Pink & Blue because:

Nike Uche Kadri wants to make Pink & Blue because:
- their film celebrates a loving, healthy relationship between a trans woman of color and a cis lesbian woman of color
- we need more on-screen representation of the myriad of LGBTQ+ relationships that occur in real life
- often when trans folk of color are depicted on screen it is as victims of violence (thank you POSE on FX for being a grand exception)
- they want to humanize and normalize the experience of creating life/parenthood for members of the LGBTQ+ community
- it is necessary to dismantle toxic masculinity, the root of much of the emotional and physical violence against women and queer and non-binary and trans women of color
- it is necessary to question the early use of gender and the burdening of children with toxic societal expectations of what it means to be "women" and "men" and/or to wear pink or blue
- it is necessary to educate people about the difference between sex (biology) and gender (a social construct)
