As I will continually point out as long as this blog exists, trans people are present throughout the African Diaspora and on the second largest continent on planet Earth. It is one of my blog's missions to bring you the stories of continental African transpeople, and just found out about this documentary being shot by Scottish filmmaker Tristan MG Aitchison.
He was commissioned by the Kenyan TBLGI organization Jinsiangu to produce a series of short films about the members of their organization.
The first one in that series is entitled 'How To Solve A Problem Like Maria' and discusses her experiences with taking hormones and her transition. It debuted during a May 29-31 TBLGI regional conference held in Naivashu, Kenya called 'Changing Faces, Changing Spaces'.
The theme of the conference was “Umoja-Ujima-Kujichagulia”
That 4th regional conference brought together sex worker advocates and TBLGI advocacy ones from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi as well as activists working in other regions of Africa, their allies in the health and legal professions, human rights activists and organizations.
Check out the first video in this series.
