Crossing Over, a documentary directed by Isabel Castro and produced by Katrina Sorrentino, explores the lives of undocumented transgender women.

I came across a community of transgender immigrants in Los Angeles when an immigration lawyer told me about her work representing LGBT asylum seekers. She told me stories that left me speechless; the pain and suffering that many of her clients endured in their home countries seemed unfathomable.

The documentary was going to come out this year, but Castro decided to keep filming a little more. See the link for the trailer.
