Gender Troublemakers

26m

Directed by Mirha-Soleil Ross and Xanthra Phillippa Mackay • 1993 • Canada

They grab their 8 mm home-video camera, their last 200 bucks, and come up with an uncompromising, in-your-face flick about their shitty relationships with gay men and their unabashed attraction to other transsexual women.
