Brazilian-born filmmaker Natalia Leite's Queeroes short, Kiki and the MXfits, tells the story of protagonist Chiquilla and her "crew of misfit bleacher brats" as they navigate queer identity and being high school outsiders. When Kiki, a trans member of the squad, gets thrown in detention for using the girl's bathroom, it ignites a spark that sends the whole group of teens into a rampage of rebellion.
