That’s Gila, That’s Me

Producer: Alon Weinstock
Release Year: 2010

Synopsis:
"A fascinating documentary about the life story of Gila Goldstein, born in the 1950s as Avraham Goldstein. From Maccabi Haifa soccer player to Tel Aviv stripper, Gila was one of Israel's first trans-gender individuals. A Tel Aviv icon and a living legend who is admired by the LGBT community."

"A soccer player in Maccabi Haifa in her youth, Gila always knew she was a woman. In her 20′s she moved to Tel Aviv and worked as a prostitute and exotic dancer. In 2003 she was proclaimed the community’s darling for her contribution and continued fight for social justice. The film, shot between 1997 and 2010, describes the world of a woman who is, despite many struggles, still happy, optimistic, and feeling forever young."
