IN FULL BLOOM...Transcending Gender" St. Clair Bourne 4th Monday Free Documentary Screening 1.24.22 @7PM PST

The feature-length documentary, In Full Bloom...transcending gender, chronicles the lives of 13 transgender and two gay actors whose paths cross during the production of the unprecedented stage play, "A Lovely Bouquet of Flowers." The film attempts to inform as well as to entertain, weaving behind-the scenes, rehearsal and performance footage with compelling personal interviews from the cast, dealing with family, inner conflicts, discrimination, coming out, surgery, hormones and the complexities of sexual identity and orientation. By sharing their own journeys, the actors transcend transgender by speaking to issues, such as relationships, careers and spirituality. "In Full Bloom...transcending gender," challenges the viewer to move past stereotypes and to see the commonalities we all share as human beings.
