NEW BRITAIN — How does a mother handle it when her son says he'd rather be her daughter? How does a wife react when her husband wants to be a woman?

Vancouver filmmaker Gwen Haworth — born Steven Haworth — addressed those questions in her documentary film "She's a Boy I Knew," screened Wednesday night at Central Connecticut State University.

"When I came out in 2000 my mom asked if there was anything out there to show me what to expect," Haworth said. "Maybe there was, but I couldn't find it." So she made her own.
