Shinjuku Boys
Feb. 1st, 2021 02:01 amThis 1995 documentary following the lives of three trans men in Japan is up on youtube in 4 parts. They work as hosts in the New Marilyn Club. The documentary won several awards including Outstanding Documentary at the San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Film Festival.
I haven't watched it in a few years, but I found it fascinating. The documentary is a very frank and intimate portrayal of their lives. Topics like sex and surgery come up very suddenly in the doc, so be prepared for that.
