The Trans List
Filmmaker Timothy Greenfield-Sanders continues his portrait series in this intimate conversation with eleven prominent transgender figures, including Bamby Salcedo, Laverne Cox and Caitlyn Jenner, airing on HBO.
"Latin community activist Bamby Salcedo was galvanized politically by the brutal 2002 murder of transgender teen Gwen Araujo. While not downplaying the grim chapters of her own past, she gives a moving description of her maternal feelings as she observes young people transforming, and a sweet account of the Cinderella revelation of trying on a white gown for the first time."
