| 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)
