Joe Ball, The Victorian Commissioner for LGBTIQA+ Communities, acknowledging a recent prior visit to our studio, uses their story to highlight the positives, differences, and some of the opportunities, that are available to those who may be considering their own journey: recognising one film, and the many, who have inspired him.
Mentioned Film: Boys Don’t Cry (1999)
The film is a dramatisation of the real-life story of Brandon Teena (played by Hilary Swank), an American trans man who attempts to find himself and love in Nebraska but falls victim to a brutal hate crime perpetrated by two male acquaintances.
