| I, Undocumented (61 min) Venezuela |
[buy tickets] |
Director: Andrea Baranenko
Producer: Daniel Ruiz Hueck
Description:
Tamara, Desiree and Victoria are Venezuelan women with apparently not much in common: Tamara is a lawyer, Desiree's a hairdresser and Victoria has studied art. However, they share more than their nationality; they carry IDs with names that don't identify them. They are transgender women, who long ago assumed their gender and now defend it in a still homo-transphobic society. This film chronicles the story of how the three women join to fight for legal name change in Venezuela, through a series of legal actions that will test the system's willingness to protect its citizens' most basic right: the right to an identity.
