  • Director: Inga Dievulyte

CGiii Comment

'Becoming Susan' is a portrait documentary about Toronto activist Susan Gapka. The film enters Susan's world through an exploration of the spaces around her, with Susan's story filling these personal spaces before her visual representation does. 'Becoming Susan' presents a way of sharing the world of a trans-woman without focusing on the physical. Instead, visual fragments of Susan and her world serve as powerful metaphor for Susan's journey fro pieces to a whole. As we explore each new piece presented by the documentary, we begin to realize that each is as important as the last to understanding her. Multi-faced and complex Susan is, as we all are, made up of fragments of each moment of life.
