Part of “Begin the Conversation,” a series of thought-provoking events designed to spark discussions and community dialogue. Presented by Cleveland Jewish News.
A dramatization of the real-life story of Brandon Teena, a transgender man (played in the film by Academy Award winner Hilary Swank) who is beaten, raped, and murdered by his male acquaintances after they discover he is anatomically female. The picture explores the themes of freedom, courage, identity, and empowerment. We will be joined by Jacob Nash, Founder and President of the Board at Margie's Hope, for a brief discussion after the film. Directed by Kimberly Peirce; co-written by Andy Bienen. (USA, 1999)
