A woman searches for her own River Phoenix after River Phoenix passing and finds him in the man she marries in America. 

3:45 p.m.  Loree Gold (Snatched...Stories From Down There)

This travelogue woven with her story and LGBT history is a sexually charged, soulful and sometimes devastating ride through issues of ageism, transgenderism, family dynamics, bad choices, grief, grace, love, loss and mostly lust- and all the trouble it gets you into. 

4:30 p.m.  Missy Hairston (Awkwardly Fabulous)

A little girl’s journey to womanhood and the people, places and situations that begin to uproot her confidence in herself and plant seeds of doubt about her body, love life, and life in general. 

5:30 p.m.  Alina Cenal ( Words from a Cuban Father)

Alina’s strong presence of her father guides through a world of mambo, revolution, Fidel, hot dogs, Miami, the circus and Hollywood, as she is yanked from her native Cuba as a child to explore a new life that challenges her roots. 

6:45 p.m.  Misty Monroe ( Unapologetically Black)

This woman moves through stages of “Nigrescence” having been raised in suburban Northern California and spending summers in South Central L.A. She deals with culture shock, the devastating effects of crack cocaine on her family and her ultimate self-acceptance. 

8:00 p.m.  Eloise Laws (Back By Popular Demand!)
