transparent
Pink or blue. Male or Female. Mommy or Daddy. Categories that we all take for granted are broken apart in transparent, a documentary about 19 female-to-male transsexuals living in the United States who have given birth and, in all but a few stories, gone on to raise their biological children. transparent focuses on its subjects' lives as parents, revealing the diverse ways in which each person reconciles giving birth and being a biological mother with his masculine identity. Through these extraordinary men, the film challenges the ways that people relate to one another, particularly within our immediate families, based on gender.

Just Call Me Kade
Kade Farlow Collins is a sixteen year old FTM residing in Tucson, Arizona. Kade's parents maintain a supportive and nurturing relationship to Kade regarding the many challenges facing their teenage child. However, it hasn't always been easy. As Kade's body began to transform during puberty, Kade became nearly suicidal. Kade and his family agreed to have their lives documented in order to bring awareness to transgendered youth. Friends and family candidly express their feelings about the transition, the changes in Kade and the impact on everyone involved.

Kindly arrive early as seating is limited. Don't miss this FREE screening of these powerful films!
