Film covers events from transgender teen's death to sentencing of attackers (http://www.insidebayarea.com/oaklandtribune/ci_5383132)
Those experiences made the transgender Fremont filmmaker keenly aware of the struggles faced by Gwen Araujo, a Newark transgender teen killed in 2002. So Prevost began following the Araujo court case, which has resulted in "Trained in the Ways of Men," a 98-minute film about the 19-year-old's tragic story. The movie will have its world premiere Saturday at Cinequest, San Jose's 17th annual film festival.
The film covers a four-year period, beginning with Araujo's death in 2002, and concludes with the sentencing of the defendants last year, after the case's second trial. They were convicted of crimes ranging from second-degree murder to voluntary manslaughter.
