Release Year: 2007
Original title: L'Ordre des Mots
Synopsis:
"L’Ordre des Mots (Binding Words) is a politically engaging and informative portrait of six transgender and intersex activists from France. Leaving behind the typical ‘explanation’ structure present in many documentaries on trans issues, these activists pointedly question France’s social history of medicalization that has secured the conventions of the gender binary."
"In telling their own stories of surviving the trials of transitioning, each character offers the viewer options for alternative identities and sexualities. The documentary is poetic and reflective, and at the same time a compelling call for activism in the name of those who think ‘differently.’ This gracefully powerful film by Cynthia and Melissa Arra is made with care and respect for its speakers."
