Brought back by popular demand after the success of Boys Don't Cry, this is probably your last chance to see the extraordinary documentary on which the Academy Award-winning film was based. Attractive and charismatic Brandon Teena arrived in Falls City, Nebraska, aged 20, in 1993. Three weeks later, his 'true' gender was revealed as female, triggering a spiral of humiliation and brutality for Brandon, and his subsequent rape and murder at the hands of his two former friends. Compelling viewing, whether or not you've seen Boy's Don't Cry.
