A new landmark film from Cuba will have its U.S. premiere in early November in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Long Beach, Calif. "In the Wrong Body" ("En el Cuerpo Equivocado"), produced in 2010, in Spanish with English subtitles, was directed by Marilyn Solaya.

The film—which debuted in Cuban theaters last year—tells the moving story of Mavi Susel, the first transgender person in Cuba to receive a sex reassignment operation, in 1988. The premieres, in San Francisco (Nov. 3), Los Angeles (Nov. 9), and Long Beach, Calif. (Nov. 12), plan to feature appearances by Mavi Susel and Marilyn Solaya.
