CGiii Comment

It's not a well-made film...

The subjects aren't even interesting...the same old problems with transition...

Only for those who want to be bored rigid.


Watch...here

“Even if I commit suicide, even if I die tomorrow, I first want to change my gender.”

Tony, Jinan, China, 2012

The documentary “Brothers” takes you to the female-to-male transgender community in China, a community which endures hardships that are unfathomable to the majority of Chinese society.

It documents the life of Tony, who forms part of a group of female-to-male transgendered people who call each other brothers. The film shows Tony’s road to self-acknowledgement, his troubles at work, his decision to undergo sex reassignment surgery and all the difficulties he encounters on his path.
