Tune in Tuesday, October 19th at 7PM (PST) as KXLU Los Angeles proudly presents Center Stage with Mark Gordon featuring special guests Shannon Keith (SKIN TRADE) and Israel Luna and Willam Belli (TICKED OFF TRANNIES WITH KNIVES).
Fur is sexy, beautiful, sensuous and luxurious. Nothing feels better against your skin, and beautiful, sexy, successful people wear it. Fur is also environmentally friendly and is therefore a sustainable resource. These are the campaigns the fur industry uses to get people to commit the ultimate atrocities permitted against animals. Consumers are misled by retailers who assure them that animals used for fur are humanely euthanized, intentionally hiding the reality of how the animals are hideously killed. Step inside the world of SKIN TRADE. Hundreds of hours of interviews with insiders, designers, leaders and celebrities compiled in a heart punching documentary directed and produced by award winning director Shannon Keith. This film lends a voice to the voiceless whose skin is ripped from them while often still alive. Understand what makes this savage industry tick and what it will take to change it.
The film has earned multiple awards since its Los Angeles premiere in June, including Best Documentary and Best Director for filmmaker Shannon Keith at the Los Angeles Movie Awards, Award of Merit for Feature Documentary from The Indie Fest, and Media of the Year from the Institute for Critical Animal Studies.
"Girls just want to have fun, and God help anyone who rains on their parade in TICKED-OFF TRANNIES WITH KNIVES, a knockoff/sendup/homage/burlesque of '70s-exploitation movies that suggests what might have happened if Eli Roth had directed "Paris Is Burning." So far over the top it can barely see the ground, "Trannies" is a classic midnight movie that's...sure to attract a cult aud. Any innocents wandering in unawares will require immediate resuscitation." (John Anderson, Variety)
The exclusive Los Angeles engagement will begin on Friday, October 22nd at the Sunset 5 in West Hollywood.
