CGiii Comment
A touching depiction of confusion, acceptance and death.
Simple folks with complex issues.
And...it really is just a world of make believe.
The documentary itself is just a little too long...the subject, Robert, a life too short.
RIP.

Southern Comfort documents the final year in the life of Robert Eads, a female-to-male transsexual. Eads, diagnosed with ovarian cancer, was turned down for treatment by two dozen doctors out of fear that treating such a patient would hurt their reputations. By the time Eads received treatment, the cancer was too advanced to save his life. Filmmaker Kate Davis follows Robert and a group of trans-gendered Southerners in this captivating and truly touching documentary.
