TRANSISTENCE

GREECE, SPAIN, 2023, COLOR, DCP, 26’, GREEK, SPANISH, ENGLISH

10/07/2023. Ana, a trans woman, who migrated to Greece from Cuba, is brutally murdered in her apartment downtown Athens. Another transphobic crime in a country recognizing and giving very few rights to trans persons. The same year, Spain votes the most progressive legal framework for trans rights in Europe. How does the law affect the lives of the members of this community? People that fight for trans rights, from the first trans MP of Spain, Carla Antonelli, to Secretary of State for Equality, Ángela Rodríguez Martínez, share their reality in a two-speed society. Popaganda journalists Anastasia Vaitsopoulou and Ioannis Tsioulis travel from Athens to Madrid in order to explore the trans experience.
