MY BODY IS POLITICAL

In Brazil, transphobia continues to run violently rampant. Paula, Beatriz, Giu and Fernando live in the poor suburbs of Sao Paulo, fighting against a country’s injustices, and their own survival, by simply following their daily routine.

Capturing the vitality of Brazil’s transgender community, as well as the dangers and discriminations its members face, Alice Riff’s respectfully observational documentary follows four trans activists in their daily life. A refreshing collective portrait that is both insightful and political.
