Description

CANS Can’t Stand, directed by Matt Nadel and Megan Plotka and produced by Matt Nadel and Wendi Cooper, is a documentary that highlights how police have weaponized Louisiana’s Crime Against Nature by Solicitation (CANS) law to terrorize queer/trans Louisianians since 1982. CANS Can’t Stand follows a group of Black trans women in New Orleans who are fighting to repeal that law—and advance trans liberation statewide. The cast includes Wendi Cooper, Milan Nicole Sherry, and CANS Can’t STAND Activists. CANS Can't Stand, in collaboration with NOVAC and Operation Restoration invite you to join us on July 15, from 6:00-7:30 at the Jazz and Heritage Foundation, 1205 N Rampart St, New Orleans, LA 70116 for a film screening and talk with the filmmakers and some cast of CANS Can’t Stand. SYNC UP Cinema and SYNC UP Seminar are presented by the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation in partnership with NOVAC, with primary sponsorship by Film New Orleans and supported in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
