After going through a gender affirming surgery it seemed easier for Fe\u00f1a to just cut every tie to his past and start fresh. Dealing with the changes he\u2019s been through was bad enough, not to mention his family\u2019s reaction. But when he runs into his ex-boyfriend and gets a surprise visit from his father and his little sister, life forces him to deal with the past.<\/p>\n

\u201cMutt\u201d<\/em> is the debut film of director Vuk Lungulov-Klotz who creates a cinematic piece full of compassion, intimacy and honesty, taking us through the journey of a man who tries to reconcile his past with his present so he could have a better future.<\/p>\n

A special praise goes to the\u00a0cast of previously unknown actors, which makes the viewing experience a real joy. Above all others shines transgender actor L\u00edo Mehiel as Fe\u00f1a.<\/p>\n

Gila Project for Trans Empowerment (AKA Transgenders for Social Justice) was founded in 2010 by and for the transgender community. It began as an activist group working to change the lives of transgender people, with a focus on personal empowerment, advocacy for rights, and demanding access to resources and opportunities. The Project grew into a strong trans-led nonprofit that continues to uphold these values and goals, and works in the field of LGBTQ rights, human rights, and social justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
