    Campus Screening of Award-Winning Transgender Film “Girl Inside” (Updated)

    The award-winning movie Girl Inside is the account of a young adult transitioning from male to female and her "emotional, intellectual, and spiritual journey of self-discovery . . . (amidst) the physical journey of hormones and surgery. Sometimes funny, sometimes painful, this sweet coming of age story is both an intimate portrait and a thoughtful exploration of what it means to be a woman." (Women Make Movies) Sponsored by the IIT Department of Humanities and the Office of Campus Life, the film will be shown on Wednesday, March 13 from 7:00–10:00 pm in the MTCC Auditorium.
