At a party one night a brutal murder occurred when it was discovered that the cute
young girl everyone was attracted too was anatomically male. This film tells the story
of one families struggle and their never ending love that brought them all together
to see justice done for Gwen, 17 years of age, who never had a chance, yet her spirit
has touched the lives of people forever. Every year in November we have a day of rememberence
so we don't forget the lives of so many trans people who have been lost tragically
to transphobic crimes of violence. We close this festival in honour of Gwen Araujo
and we thank Shelly Prevost for making such an important and brave film that will
help dispel ignorance in this world.
