Review - "BBC America Reveals: Sex Change Soldier"

I was a little apprehensive going into the latest episode of "BBC America Reveals" - titling it "Sex Change Soldier" made it sound like a tawdry tabloid exposé rather than a serious documentary on one person's journey from male to female. But I knew they'd done previous respectful treatments of a young transman and three partners of ->-bleeped-<-s, so I approached it with an open mind.

The format was a little different in that the female documentary-maker (unnamed, and unseen) gave a narration that showed she became a true friend to Jan Hamilton during the filming. Apart from a few interactions that Jan has with people in her life, we don't get to see or hear from others during the hour-long show. From the start, when we see footage of "Captain Ian Hamilton" of the Elite Parachute Regiment hiking through the jungle, Jan is on-camera almost all the time.
