GEORGIE GIRL
Directed by Annie Goldson and Peter Wells
Born George Beyer, onetime prostitute turned politician Georgina Beyer was elected to New Zealand's parliament in 1999, becoming the world's first transsexual to hold a national office. Surprisingly, a predominantly white and conservative rural constituency voted this former sex worker of Maori heritage into office. Chronicling Beyer's transformation from farm boy to celebrated cabaret diva to grassroots community leader, the documentary couples interviews and sensual images of her nightclub and film performances with footage from a day in the life of the Minister of Parliament. 2001, New Zealand, color, video, 70 minutes.
