“Leaving Allen Street is a work that always places the humanity and dignity of its subjects first… A wonderful piece that doesn’t shy from the difficulties that the residents have faced, but also shines a light on a future that speaks to the notion that we all deserve to live our best lives on our own terms and be celebrated for what makes us different and embraced in what makes us all human.”
