The upcoming documentary is being co-produced by Laverne Cox and Jacqueline 'Jac' Gares. In addition to an interview with McDonald by Cox, it tells the story of the events of that June 2011 night, the role that race, class and gender played in this case, the issues of housing trans feminine people in male prisons and anti-trans violence.
Gares and Cox also talked about the documentary project in a recent Persephonemagazine.com interview.
The documentary's original genesis came from research Gares was doing when she was a Series Producer on the now cancelled show In The Life. Gares and Cox both thought the story needed to be told, and looked into doing this as an independent documentary.
Looking forward to seeing this when it is completed.
