"I Am My Own Woman"
1993
Directed by Rosa von Praunheim
The exceptional life
of Eastern-bloc transvestite Charlotte von Mahlsdorf is the subject of this film. Her
story symbolizes both political resistance and sexual difference under a repressive
regime. It's a documentary with a touch of Brecht that features a true queer free spirit.
