CRUEL AND UNUSUAL


A DOCUMENTARY FILM BY JANET BAUS / DAN HUNT / REID WILLIAMS


Making its major festival premier at South by Southwest, Cruel and Unusual (2006, 66 minutes) is an unflinching documentary on the lives of transgender women in men's prisons. Shot over three years, this high-definition documentary film challenges the viewer's basic ideas about gender and justice through braids of poignantly graphic stories, vibrant landscape portraits and stark prison footage.
