I just finished watching a documentary called American Beauties about 4 Asian ladyboys living in the US (one of whom happens to be Yasmin Lee - a great performer and sounds like a cool chick).
It's not earth shattering in that it probably doesn't say anything that most members don't know already but I enjoyed listening to the girls stories. To see the strength and courage against family and social pressures.
I find it interesting that this comes under attack from both sides - the usual bigoted response but also from the transgender community for only portraying trangenders in connection with prostitution.
It was split in 4 parts.
