DURHAM -- Kick your transgender teenager out of your house and where they end up won't be a pretty picture. All they needed was love and acceptance.

That is the message of "Lost in the Crowd," a documentary about transgender young people who live on the streets of New York City. It was shown Sunday at the Carolina Theatre during the final day of the 15th annual N.C. Gay & Lesbian Film Festival.

The film by Susi Graf follows several teenagers and those in their early 20s from 2003 to 2007.
