SHE'S A BOY I KNEW
By Gwen Haworth
|
Witty,
brave, and vulnerable, Haworth gave us the most affecting and
memorable documentary of the year."
- Vancouver
Magazine
"Haworth creates an emotional
space that engulfs the viewer in a way that's extremely rare
in any film, whether fiction or non-fiction."
-
Kevin Griffin, The Vancouver Sun
Finding self-empowerment through self-representation, SHE’S
A BOY I KNEW is a comic, heartbreaking, and uplifting
autobiography that focuses on the interpersonal relationships
of a family who unexpectedly find their bonds strengthening
as they overcome their preconceptions of gender and sexuality.

separate prisoners by genitalia alone, so pre-op, transgender
women are placed in men’s correctional facilities, where
they find themselves vulnerable and preyed upon. CRUEL
AND UNUSUAL is a frank, often unsettling documentary,
that portrays the challenges faced by these women. |

PILLS
PROFITS PROTEST: CHRONICLE OF THE GLOBAL AIDS MOVEMENT is
an up-to-the minute documentary about AIDS treatment activism.
It examines the national and international grass roots response
to an epidemic that has already overshadowed the Black Death
in terms of human lives lost. The demand for access to affordable
treatment for 40 million people living with HIV, most of whom
live in poor countries, represents one of the most successful
political movements of contemporary history. |
