Transgender International Day of Rights and Education

As right-wing powers escalate a violent crusade against transness, the need to spotlight and honour the work of trans activists becomes increasingly imperative. To celebrate Transgender International Rights & Education Day on August 7, Cinema Politica has selected two films that exemplify trans struggle for recognition in a world of neglect and venomous bigotry. From Canada to the Philippines, these titles chronicle survival and resistance from the domestic quarters of modern day parenthood to the legislative platforms of congress.
