One Night at Babes

Angelo Madsen Minax
Documentary : 29' / Community, Trans, Homophobia

In 2017 two trans men bought a bar in a long-abandoned railway depot in Bethel, Vermont (USA), population: 891. The young-ish queer proprietors transformed the bygone dive bar into a slightly cleaner dive bar called Babes. In no time Babes Bar was bustling and the conservative townsfolk of Bethel didn’t seem to care who was serving them as long as there was beer to be had.
