The Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) will mark "Transgender Day of Remembrance" by hosting a screening of Unraveling Michelle beginning at 7:00 p.m. in Falvey Hall, in the Brown Center, 1300 Mount Royal Avenue, in Baltimore.
Directed by Michelle Farrell and Dan Shaffer, Unraveling Michele delves head-first into the gender-bending highs and lows of Farrell's male-to-female metamorphosis through her own eyes, as well as those who've been closest to her during the process. The documentary tenaciously captures the range of reactions of those in Michelle's personal and professional lives as they get to know the person they had known for years - all over again. Farrell will introduce this free screening, and will conduct an audience question-and-answer session following the film.
For more information on the movie, watch the trailer below, or visit www.unravelingmichelle.com.
