She's a Boy I Knew (18)

She’s a Boy I Knew is guaranteed, says the filmmaker, to be the most compelling do-it-yourself, gender-bending, feel-good film directed by a transsexual lesbian you’ve seen all year!

And it’s true, but it’s faint praise – for this documentary is so much more than that. At 23 years old, Steven Haworth, a married heterosexual man, took the brave decision to tell his wife about his true female gender identity. It was the start of a process that led to Steven becoming Gwen, the director of this movie, which documents her transition and the effect it has on her family with both wit and wisdom.

It’s that rare thing - a ‘home’ movie that manages to be both a narrative work of art and a tool for activists to use in the fight for acceptance.
