Crystal, a Thai transvestite in Bangkok, led a quiet, normal life working as the Thailand brand manager for a well-known French cosmetics company--until one day she is denied entry into a nightclub based on her sexual identity. Rather than accepting the discrimination, the episode springs her into action, and has much larger consequences than anyone could have imagined.

    I've seen quite a few documentaries on this subject, and at first I thought that seeing yet another one on this issue wouldn't hold my interest, but it did for the full 13 minutes. Well done piece. It also helped that Crystal was such a likable character. I especially liked her closing statement.

    Excellent work! This is a refreshing, honest and interesting look at a subject often obscured by sterotypes and amateurish humor.

    Joel - that was a powerful story that you so clearly portrayed - of course the eloquence and dignity of Crystal was evident and that really comes across. fascinating that an incident which is replayed daily across the globe without changing anything had such a dramatic impact in Thailand. Keep it up.

    GL Very important issue. The trans-gender person has always been with us. To recognize their basic human rights is the only way to go.
