Victorian AIDS Council / Gay Men’s Health Centre (VAC/GMHC) and Ausgender will be hosting a Transgender Film Night on 21 September 2011, screening the groundbreaking documentary Prodigal Sons.
Prodigal Sons tells the story of transgendered woman Kimberly Reed, a successful magazine editor and film maker, as she returns to her home town to attend a high school reunion.
Kimberly is joined by her girlfriend as she meets old friends and faces her own and others’ memories of her previous life as the star quarterback on the school football team.
Kimberly’s quest for reconciliation with her long-estranged adopted brother and his own surprising discovery about his past is interwoven within the story of the reunion.
Prodigal Sons is a powerful story of gender identity, finding your own path and the bonds of family.
VAC/GMHC and transgender support group Ausgender invite you to attend this free screening on 21 September at 7.30pm (doors open at 7.00pm). The screening will be held at the Positive Living Centre, 51 Commercial Road South Yarra.
