A film about how New Zealanders define their sex and sexuality and how they deal with people seeking transgender status will be one of the features of Documentary Edge 2011.
Is She or Isn't He? is the work of festival-favourite Justin Pemberton. It follows a self-proclaimed "fat, hairy, woman with a penis", on her journey from Graham to Ashleigh, as she struggles with her identity.
This is not a doco about a trans person.
It's a documentary about a gay man's struggle to find his identity as a gay man.
