Premiere of Trans Widows Film on Friday 30th Aug

[TinselAngel]

Vaishnavi Sundar's long awaited documentary that was three years in the making, is having a worldwide premiere on the 30th of August, 7pm UK time.

Behind The Looking Glass is a feature-length film about the lives of women whose partners have/want to medically transition.

This is the link for the premiere:

I can't wait but I'm also expecting it to be quite upsetting. Transwidows (and children of transitioners) have been treated so appallingly. An important watch though.

Perfect.

(Prosecco and a cheeseboard).

Will definitely be there! The transwidow threads have helped keep me sane over the years. Thanks @TinselAngel

We've scheduled today so we can watch it live.

Looking forward to seeing this much-needed work.

@TinselAngel Prosecco and cheese sounds great!

Will be watching tonight @TinselAngel - enjoy 😊

I'll be watching from Oz <3

I'm really nervous. I'm not sure why!

I can't watch live but I'll catch up with it later. Hope it goes well.

I'm in the same position but will will watch it the first chance I get.

I really hope the film will help more people to understand the reality of what transwidows and their children go through, rather than the sparkle & glitter fantasy punted by TA and the complicit media.

I'm watching. It is excellent and enraging. So good to hear women's voices finally.

Yes. I wonder if we'll get the BBC reporting on this important film?

(Is that a pig I see flying past my window?)

Wow.

That's an extremely powerful film, beautifully done.

Absolutely superb film (and beautifully animated/produced/directed). Congratulations to the wonderful Vashnavi and to Tinsel and all the trans widows and children who contributed. Hope that it is watched by the world!

It's a wonderful piece of work. Huge thanks to everyone who participated and most especially to @TinselAngel It is so moving and inspirational.

Well worth a watch and beautifully animated. Well done to everyone involved - I hope it reaches a wide audience.

Very powerful stuff. The experiences of the children was particularly difficult to listen to.

Congrats to the filmmakers. A very important film that needed to be made.

It's been an emotional evening!

Wow.
Thank you to all the amazing, articulate contributers.
And thank you to the team behind the project - crew, production & direction , you have made a fantastic piece of work. You should be very proud of your contribution and brave vision. You told their stories with great skill.

Just finished watching it. What strong, brave, resilient women.

Wow - amazing. Great to have such a good film about something we should have heard more about. The bit about the old 'guidance manual' for psychiatrists telling how wives and wives-to-be should be managed was eye-opening.

That was an amazing film. Well done to everyone involved in it.

Very powerful and moving, wonderful animation and good spread of experiences among contributors.
