Trans_CCS- 23 min Documentary, 2022
An intimate take on the life of a transgender woman living in Caracas, Venezuela during the lockdown of 2021. Her name: Angelica Vitanza, who won Miss World Gay 2021.
Her emotional story from boy to girl. Her daily physical transformation. Her thoughts and experiences with hormone intake in a country where there is lots of discrimination, how does she survive?
She lost both of her parents but she is lucky enough to have a 'father' in the community who has supported her. Through her struggles, we learn about the current situation that transgender people face in a country where they’re denied rights. We observe the place she works in, witness the performance of different Drag Queens and their attitudes to the pandemic. We also dive into her relationships with men, and her worries about her future and aspirations.
