Kate Bornstein, writer and performer, was born a man. This documentary presents her frank account of her personal journey from unhappy boy child into liberated transsexual lesbian. Intercut with her satiric night club act called "Hidden: A Gender," are the stories of a wide range of people who refused to have their identity defined by whether they were born male or female. We are thus presented with a spectrum of colorful gender anomalies: drag queens, transsexuals, cross dressers, gays and lesbians... and those who refuse to be categorized. They want the right to be not "male" or "female," but whatever they choose in between. Why, they ask, must we have a bipolar gender system, when some other cultures can accommodate diversity? Academics including Dr. Walter Williams, anthropologist, and David Halperin, of M.I.T. encourage a reevaluation of traditional thinking, and a distinction between gender orientation and sexual preference. Adventures in the Gender Trade is guaranteed to provoke discussion! College Adult

This revealing self portrait of an overeater will strike a chord with most Americans who are concerned with weight and body image. It follows Barbara, the video maker, from seeming to be an attractive, cheerful young child through her metamorphosis into a five foot tall, one hundred and seventy-five pound conflicted woman. Mixing old photos and reminiscences of family members, the film creates an amusing vision of the survival of a compulsive eater and the trials of family members who love and live with her. Who are these family members who speculate on where Barbara went astray? A well -groomed mother who laments Barbara's inability to dress with chic. A fat father who gives the geneaology of his family's portliness. A loving husband who admires her beautiful eyes if not her shape. And then there's Barbara herself who describes the compulsion and shame of binging. She may be looking for the comfort food of her youth. She may be avoiding her sexuality. She may be wanting to "drop out." Beautiful Piggies is not a clinical study of an eating disorder. But no one who sees it will ever blame a fat person for being that way. College Adult

In Becoming Ayden, we meet seventeen year-old Adina Scheim from Toronto who is becoming a boy named Ayden. Ayden is willing to go to great lengths to alter her female body to correspond with her male self image. Ayden recently began taking testosterone and her voice has started to deepen -- an irreversible physical effect of the male sex hormone. Ayden says she would have her breasts removed if she had the money to pay for it. She is sure she wants to become a man but convincing her parents is another matter. Her father, a prominent conservative rabbi, thinks she is too young to be making such an important decision. Now living on her own, she has found another family and way of life in Toronto's gay and lesbian community. Ayden’s physician reflects on the growing transgender population in Toronto, and the film offers hope that more and more communities are accepting those who choose to change genders, with the bravery and pride that Ayden displays.

Of the thirty most industrialized nations, the U.S. has the worst record of infant mortality, with African American babies dying at three times the rate of whites. In some places, that rate equals those of many third world countries. When filmmakers David Appleby and Craig Leake discovered that their hometown of Memphis has the highest infant mortality rate in the country, they decided to follow those individuals who were working to reverse the statistics. Soon they began meeting some of the young pregnant mothers most at risk, and decided to concentrate much of their efforts on learning more about their particular circumstances.

This ethnographic documentary follows three young Dutch women in their contraceptive choices. It shows how the use of hormonal birth control for women from a young age on is normalized, institutionalized and encouraged through social norms. Since the pharmaceutical industry only produces birth control methods for women, women are also the ones that have to carry all health risks and sometimes unclear side effects. Making contraception a highly unequal responsibility. The film questions the way in which we have perceived the pill as a feminist trope – and reveals a gap of information between contraception, side effects and women’s lived experience. Hopefully to start a discussion about women’s right to make decisions about their own reproductive bodies and the institutionalized need to control it.
