A River Finds Its Flow

Grace Walcott Discusses Her New Documentary Film, River of Life, LGBTQ+

When Grace Walcott first imagined a documentary that would bring LGBTQ+ people together to build a space of acceptance, she worried the idea was too simple — not “cutting-edge” enough to matter. She needn’t have worried. By building a mixed-identity, intergenerational group and setting a tone of curiosity and compassion, River of Life, LGBTQ+, to be released October 11th, creates something far more radical than she could have imagined.

Within the first weeks of filming, participants began telling her they’d never felt this comfortable in the LGBTQ+ community. Trans participants said they’d never been in a mixed group where they could speak candidly about being trans and still feel fully accepted. Elders described the relief of finally being seen and valued by a younger generation.
