A film telling the true story of an Irish transgender person last night won the ICCL (Irish Council for Civil Liberties), Human Rights Film School Competition, at The Lighthouse Cinema in Dublin.

The short film entitled 'My Identity', directed by Vittoria Colonna, was among six films screened at the event. The winning documentary tells the story of Lee, a transgender person, and the impact which his identity has on his daughter Siobhan.

Commenting on the selection, filmmaker and jury panellist Kirsten Sheridan said "I challenge anyone to watch the winning film and retain a shred of prejudice against transgender people."
