Resistència trans
(Trans Resistance)
Film program, ES 2019, 72 min., span. OV + engl. UT
By: Claudia Reig
With: Glòria Missel Soler, Carmen Fernandez, Alec Casanova, May Chorda, Eva Salvador, Dylan Garcia
Carmen and Gloria are two trans women with very different biographies and transition experiences. Carmen has been expressing herself as a woman since her teenage years and finds herself in a constant struggle for her individual freedom. Gloria only begins transitioning at the age of 45, in a precarious economic situation, and she doesn’t dare to openly confront her family and society. Documentary director Claudia Reig follows both of them, to the registry office, to the theatre stage as well as to the authorities, where we see the numerous bureaucratic pitfalls that heteronormative society continues to put in the way of trans people. Much remains to be done and fought for, and this entertaining yet militant documentary takes to the barricades.
