Utah Pride Center and the SLC Film Center are pleased to present this provocative film about the complexities of gender identity


Directed by Michelle Prevost
Run time 98 minutes


In October 2002, her picture appeared to the nation, from CNN to the New York Times, her sultry eyes seeming to tease us to discover who she is.  "Please don't. I have a family..." were her last words. When four men discover that 17 year old Gwen Araujo, the girl with whom they had been intimate was biologically male, they beat and strangle her to death. They claimed they acted in the heat of passion, provoked by what they saw as Gwen's deceit. The defense asked for a reduced verdict of manslaughter which carries as little as a four year sentence. This film follows the real life drama of the case that attracted famous attorneys, compelled almost 1000 people to attend Gwen Araujo's memorial service and thousands more to march in the streets demanding justice.
