Southern Comfort
Dir. Kate Davis US 2000
SF Premiere This contemporary real-life love story set in the back hills of Georgia, tells the bittersweet story of cowboy Robert Eads, a female to male transsexual, and the love of his life, Lola Cola, a male to female transsexual. Robert is battling ovarian cancer and the irony that his last female part is killing him is not lost on this man who was never comfortable in his biological body. Robert's predicament is not uncommon in the transgender community (over two dozen doctors refused to give him treatment because of his gender re-assignment). We meet friends and other transsexual people who look for support as they join together for an annual event, Southern Comfort, "the cotillion of the trans community", as Robert calls it. The first film to intimately portray a trans-to-trans romance, S outhern Comfort won the Documentary Grand Jury Prize at Sundance and is an inspiring tale of love against all odds. (90m)
