I AM A WOMAN NOW
Synopsis
The first generation of transsexuals who had their sex change in Casablanca back in the mid-1950s to 1960s take stock of their lives and experiences as women. Do these pioneers feel like total women and did it give them the fulfilment in life they expected?

Our take
Transgender rights have progressed in recent years, but this documentary’s subjects recall a time when even the term was not common in the public sphere. A fascinating insight into some of the first transexual people to have undergone operation and the subsequent change in their lives.
