ON SCREEN / Love across the spectrum (http://www.xtra.ca/public/viewstory.aspx?AFF_TYPE=3&STORY_ID=2870&PUB_TEMPLATE_ID=6)
Premiering at Hot Docs is Girl Inside, the new documentary by partners Maya Gallus and Justine Pimlott, the compelling story of three years in the life of a young Toronto trans woman named Madison. Madison is articulate, thoughtful and self-aware — excellent qualities for a stimulating interview subject.
But what makes Girl Inside so original is Madison's kin: There's a grandmother who enthusiastically schools her in how to be a lady — the old-fashioned way; there's a close friend from her past who ends up becoming something much more; plus there's the rest of her family of Maritimers who struggle to various degrees with a beloved son becoming a beloved daughter.
