This collection of five films depicts lives of characters both real and imagined across the gender tapestry. We recommend viewing the first two films in our program BOYS DON'T WEAR DRESSES and GIRLSBOYSMIX with your children however the rest of the films are more appropriate for adult audiences. Please note that you cannot re-watch any of these shorts once you've viewed them. Community Spotlight: Trans Family Kingston and Kingston Enbaes


This program is recommended for persons 14+ due to Mature Content.

On a small island at the mouth of the Amazon River called Cotijuba, a typical Brazilian family deals with an issue that resonates in modern society: transgender people. We are invited to meet Dominique, whose mother raised all by herself her three transgender daughters. On the way to visit her mother, Dominique reminisces about her life as a survivor of prostitution and police brutality due to unconditional love, understanding, and affection.
