This documentary follows Miss Major, a Black transgender elder whose life shows how care, rage, and survival can become a strategies for liberation. It stays close to daily moments of caregiving, housing struggles, and inside–outside prison organizing, showing how systems of policing, imprisonment, and poverty shape every part of her community’s life.

Centering trans women of color as experts of their own experience, Major! highlights their role as leaders who keep each other alive through mutual aid, chosen family, and underground support networks. The film connects street economies, incarceration, and gender self‑determination to a long arc of resistance from Stonewall to recent fights around criminalization.

Since Miss Major’s passing in 2025, her death has sparked renewed conversations about organizing models that are rooted in fierce love, direct support to imprisoned people, and unapologetic visibility for Black trans women.
