Catarina de Sousa, Nick TysonTracing Utopia is an odyssey into the dreams of a group of queer teens in New York City as they envision a better world. This short documentary, directed by Catarina de Sousa and Nick Tyson, imagines a form of queer community transcending time through glimpses of a utopia made manifest in the streets, in community spaces, and online. A collaborative manifesto weaves these pasts and futures together—calling for the change that queer youth strive for today: “As queer teens in Queens, we demand this in order to build a better world.”
