Cat & Docs

Five first-generation transsexual women paint a resonant picture of the successes they enjoyed and the obstacles they encountered in the fifty years since their surgical transformations, all performed in Casablanca, Morocco, by Dr. Georges Burou, who did not require psychological assessments as a precondition. Did their sex change operations change their lives as they had hoped? How did their families react? Using high production values, vintage photographs, and home videos, this respectful and sensitive documentary offers a fresh perspective on these women’s difficult choice to step into the unknown and the consequences that follow the realization of an unattainable dream.
