Orlando, My Political Biography 12A
From acclaimed writer and activist Paul B. Preciado, Orlando,
My Political Biography is a bold and joyous celebration of trans life, told
through the lens of Virginia Woolf's iconic novel.
Woolf's Orlando follows the centuries-spanning life of a young nobleman
who awakens to find that they are a woman. Almost a century after its
publication, Preciado claims that fiction has become reality and Orlando's
story lies at the root of all contemporary trans and non-binary life.
Told through a myriad trans and non-binary voices living today - our new
'Orlandos' - this documentary offers a dazzling example of how life, poetry and
gender can meet in search for truth.
