Watch A Mexican Fable: Murder and the Feather Boa
Type: Movie Category: DocumentaryYear: 1996Details
La Vanessa was the organiser of the first gay rights march in Chiapas State, Mexico. Four years after her murder in 1992, this study of mexican transvestite culture documents a period of fear marked by 29 brutal murders. It originally aired in '96 as part of Channel 4's Latino Nights line-up ("a season of programmes from and about Latin America"),and--aside from showing up at a few niche trans-festivals here and there--seems to have disappeared altogether after that.
