Sacramento, CA, Apr. 3, 2013: Film "In the Wrong Body" and Cuban Five update

Sacramento, CA, Apr. 3, 2013: Film "In the Wrong Body" and Cuban Five update

Date: Weds., Apr. 3,7 pm
Location: Sol Collective, 2574 21st St, Sacramento
Sponsored By: National Committee to Free the Cuban Five, ANSWER Coalition, the Sac Activist School, Women Organized to Resist and Defend (W.O.R.D.)
Cost: $5, no one turned away for lack of funds

In the Wrong Body is the moving story of Mavi Susel, the first transgender person in Cuba to receive a sex reassignment operation in 1988. This unique film documents the personal struggle of Cuban Mavi Susel for full gender expression through sex reassignment surgery. It also provides a broader picture of the education and development of a scientific understanding of homophobia and its history, and the application of principles of true equality and democracy in socialist Cuba.
