Do you think Smoke was actually just wanted to die at the end of Sinners? I don’t think he wanted to live, clearly, as he made no plans to protect himself from the Klan bullets. But I wonder about his exact motives for the shootout going down the way it did.

As far as Smoke knew, Sammy had left already and was as safe as he could be back with his preacher daddy, and (hopefully) giving up his guitar. But Stack was definitely still inside the building. Was it to protect his brother one last time? Was it to punish himself for not protecting his brother, Annie, his child? Was it to join Annie and his child? Was it to take out the last bits of anger at a dream deferred? Was it because he was a soldier and soldiers fight and die in battle?

I guess I was disposable.

Jacqueline Gares Talks Life in Film, Laverne Cox & FREE CeCe

In June of 2012, African-American trans woman, CeCe McDonald, was sentenced to 41 months in prison for the stabbing and killing of a man who viciously attacked her and friends as they walked to a local grocery store. The attack was racially motivated as well as powered by transphobia, leading filmmaker and activist, Jacqueline Gares, and Orange Is the New Black’s, Laverne Cox, to tell McDonald’s powerful account of not only that night, but the overarching issues of, “trans-misogyny and the epidemic of violence surrounding trans women of color.” Last week, we talked with Jacqueline Gares about the upcoming documentary, the motivation behind it, and the journey that has led her to tell these powerful, personal and moving human stories.
