Though I've only seen clips, Be Like Others is a documentary that enters the world of transgendered Iranians and their families-- it had its world premiere at Sundance this year. Woo! Media. Totally amazing.
Check out the films website for more videos.
p.s. Happy Birthday, Mika!
Thank you sooooo much for finding that! I did know that Iran surprisingly supported gender reassignment surgery as a way of "curing" the dreaded homosexuality, but I had NO idea it was second only to Thailand in such surgery. Wow!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you again, sweetie, for the lovely birthday wishes (and great video)! Hope to see you soon! xoxoxo
