"Film Screening: Todos las Flores / All The Flowers February 20th, 6PM - Free William Way LGBT Community Center 1315 Spruce Street ENGLISH: Brothels are rarely seen as safe or dignifying. Yet, in a red light district of Colombia, a country torn by decades of war, there’s a tiny brothel named “Tabaco y Ron”, which acts as a shelter and shield for trans sex workers that work there. Through a choral portrait of the trans community that inhabits the brothel, Todas las flores constructs an intimate vignette of this remarkable space"
