SUMMARY:Screening: Transgender Parents
DESCRIPTION:Screening: Transgender Parents\n\nDir. Rémy Huberdeau\, 2014\, 45m\n\nApril 18\, 6:30pm - Paul O'Regan Hall\n\nTRANSGENDER PARENTS is about love\, life and kids after a gender transition. It shares the struggles and strengths of several trans women and trans men navigating different stages of parenting: from pregnancy\, through raising infants\, toddlers and teenagers.\n\nSome\, who transitioned prior to founding their families\, experience fertility clinics and hospital births; others\, who transitioned in the presence of their kids work to renegotiate their identity and relationships within their families.\n\nAll are openly out in the world as trans and as parents in ways that weren’t possible 20 years ago.\n\nSyrus and Nik\, both in their 30s\, live in downtown Toronto. We follow their story from Syrus’s pregnancy to the 2nd birthday of young Amélie as they make their way in the world as black gay trans men with a blond blue-eyed daughter.\n\nAiyyana is a Haudenosaunee grandmother who was born male and has journeyed through genders and considers herself a transformed woman. An accomplished writer and award-winning theatre artist\, Aiyyana is building a home on her childhood reserve along with one of her adult children.\n\nOriginally\, from Alberta\, Jenna is a 30-year-old trans-mother-to-be who runs an organic farm with her partner near Montreal. We earn about her path to motherhood\, and witness the hours following the arrival of her baby.\n\nStefonknee is a trans woman of 45 who came out when her 7 children were almost all teenagers. The process of finding herself and going public has been too much for most of her family to bear. She has moved to Toronto from rural Ontario where she is a speaker and activist. We follow her on a visit to her hometown as she tries to heal broken connections.\n\nHershel\, a Jewish trans man in his late 60s\, is a psychotherapist whose son was 19 years old when he transitioned. We witness their loving and at times difficult relationship as both speak candidly about their experiences as parent and child over the last fifteen years.\n\nThe Radical Imagination Project is pleased to partner with Cinema Politica and the Halifax Central Library to bring you powerful and inspiring documentaries about social justice on alternating Monday nights.
