Masc: Trans Men, Butch Dykes, and Gender Nonconforming Heroes in Cinema
Description: 

This acclaimed documentary follows the story of Robert Eads, a trans man dying of ovarian cancer. While he was indisputably a victim of systemic transphobia and medical malfeasance from the American healthcare system, Eads’s status as a trans elder among his chosen family also shows him as the beating heart of an incredibly warm and life-affirming community. In Southern Comfort, named for the then Atlanta-based national trans conference, filmmaker Kate Davis presents the common struggles and common understandings among trans men in the 1990s with clear-eyed empathy.
