http://inthesetimes.com/article/6111/the_great_trans-frontierIt is not often that a documentary film discusses the complexity and nuance of a small town in Colorado and genital reassignment surgery (GRS) for male to female transsexuals.
Trinidad, directed and produced by Jay Hodges and PJ Raval, presents Trinidad, a southern Colorado town of 9,000 that has taken on the moniker "sex change capital of the world."
The film, now out on DVD, highlights the stories of Dr. Stanley Biber, who began performing GRS in 1969, and Dr. Marci L. Bowers, a male-to-female transwoman, who took over his practice in 2003.
