Trans in Film and Video
Time for our monthly report on transgender people in film and video. Today we begin with a BBC documentary about The Frock Destroyers recording their album and going on tour. Then we’ve got info on a film from New Zealand in which a trans man returns to his family home after being estranged for ten years. We cover the career of the late Indonesian entertainer Dorce Gamalama, and another documentary on a U.K. drag queen who is a real gypsy queen. Justin Vivian Bond performs on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series. Tyler Perry speaks on whether Madea is a drag queen. Survivor has its first out trans contestant. Okay, action!
