Crossing the River 2024

Directed by Manuel Ricardo Garcia

Columbus did not discover America in 1492, but it was the beginning of colonialism that also brought the colonial thinking of the two-gender system & othering. Crossing the river is not only about people from Mexico, Central- and South America trying to cross the border to the United States looking for a better life, but also about Transpeople crossing the gender border. The recent developments in the USA in dealing with indigenous people, whom they call migrants and/or trans people, are just the consequences that have been apparent for a long time.
