BOSTON-The Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition's (MTPC) video, Transgender Rights: Still Fighting has been selected as one of five winners of the WGBH Lab Open Call: Stonewall Uprising contest. The short video will air on Monday, April 25th on the PBS program AMERICAN EXPERIENCE with television debut of the film "Stonewall Uprising" based on David Carter's critically acclaimed book Stonewall: The Riot's.

MTPC's resident filmmaker, Jesse Begenyi, created a video that utilized participants stories from the I AM: Trans People Speak project interspersed with an original interview with Miss Major, a Stonewall Veteran, and facts about discrimination that the transgender community faces on a daily basis. Begenyi, who also filmed all of the I AM: Trans People Speak videos, makes clear that the experiences of those in the video are not unusual experiences-without legal protections, transgender people are at risk of discrimination in almost all areas of their life, including at work and school.
