Documentary Shorts @Central CMR
Join us in the 3rd floor Community Meeting Room for a screening of three short documentaries exploring different aspects of transgender life.
THEY/THEM (dir. Vanessa Walker) follows Taylor 'T.B.' Harmon through the waiting involved with transition-related medical procedures. For Taylor in particular, it's about waiting for health insurance to finally kick in.
BEFORE DAWN, AFTER DON (dir. Deana Mitchell) follows Dawn Ennis.
Real Boy film screening @Central CMR
Real Boy (2016) is an intimate story of a family in transition. As 19-year-old Bennett Wallace navigates early sobriety, late adolescence, and the evolution of his gender identity, his mother makes her own transformation from resistance to acceptance of her trans son. Along the way, both mother and son find support in their communities, reminding us that families are not only given, but chosen.
Homestretch Documentary & Discussion @Central CMR
Homestretch is a 2014 documentary that follows the lives of three teens experiencing homelessness. Watch the movie and join us for a community discussion following the film. Light refreshments will be served. Appropriate for ages 12 & up.
