Take a Trip to 'Trinidad'

http://www.queersighted.co.uk/2010/04/27/trinidad-colorado/

One of the more surprising and enlightening documentaries to make its way through the festival circuit lately is Jay Hodges' and PJ Raval's Trinidad. It unfolds in the small Colorado town of Trinidad, which happens to be the sex change capitol of the world, and follows the journey of its transgender residents as they work to find their true selves against this unlikely rural, red-state backdrop. Queersighted caught up with openly gay co-director Raval (below) as the film premieres on Logo (and LogoTV.com) and makes its simultaneous DVD debut.

How did you first become aware of the town of Trinidad?
Jay and I first heard of Trinidad at a dinner party. A friend had recently driven through the town and heard it was the "sex change capital of the world." We found it hard to believe this place really existed. There's a lot of mythology surrounding Trinidad, rumors of it being a town filled with only transsexuals or an unusual amount of large-women's clothing stores, for instance.
