Members of British ColumbiaB次元官网网址檚 legislature marked CanadaB次元官网网址檚 Transgender Day of Remembrance by viewing a documentary that follows a depressed, suicidal female teenagerB次元官网网址檚 three-year surgical and life-changing transition to a beaming male supermodel on the fashion runways of Paris.
The screening of the documentary, B次元官网网址淜rowB次元官网网址檚 TRANSformation,B次元官网网址� is one of many events across Canada that acknowledges the discrimination, harassment and marginalization that transgender people experience.
Krow, who only uses his first name, was at the B.C. legislature for the documentary screening and says his life was one of darkness and confusion until he decided to undergo transition surgery in his late teens.
At 24 years old, he says he feels totally himself and his modelling career has taken him to New York, London, Italy, Spain and Paris.
Liberal MLA Jane Thornthwaite and New Democrat MLA Spencer Chandra Herbert appear in the documentary, which they describe as a heart-wrenching journey of the human spirit.
Filmmaker Gina Hole Lazarowich says the documentary, which will be broadcast tonight on OUTtv, has been screened at film festivals in London, Spain and Palm Springs to enthusiastic and award-winning response.
