Some documentaries delve so deeply into characters' lives, they defy a quick synopsis. Case in point: Prodigal Sons , an award-winning film coming to Toronto's Rendezvous With Madness Film Festival.
The film focuses on a series of family reunions in Montana involving Kimberley Reed, a transgender woman dealing with an emotionally disturbed brother. Both are not only coping with the memory of who they once were, but also their family, which might be described as all-American.
