A BOY NAMED SUE

Julie Wyman's compelling documentary chronicles the transformation of a transsexual named Theo from a woman to a man over the course of six years. The film successfully captures Theo's physiological and psychological changes during the process, as well as their effects on his lesbian lover and community of close friends. Taking full advantage of the unlimited access she received into an extraordinarily personal process, Wyman carefully composes a moving story about gender identity, relationships, and how even things that seem permanent can change.

Plus shorts: XXXY documents the story of two intersex individuals who articulate the pain of having undergone genital "corrective" surgery as children. And in MATHI, a young East Indian hermaphrodite is poisoned by his parents but society considers his death a suicide. This gorgeous multi-layered film intelligently reveals the plight of an ostracized people.
