Really worth watching

This movie was captivating from the start. The trans-gendered people have almost always been a mystery and existed on the fringe of society, but this film put a human face on this issue. It showed how we all have a need to be together and share our hope and dreams with one another, and it also showed that the politics of friendship know no specific sexual preference barriers. My heart went out to most of these people shown in this project because they have been treated so poorly by society as a whole. Robert Eads died because there were no medical professionals willing to treat him. In the greatest democracy in the history of the world, we still view some citizens as sub-human. It was such an eye opening experience that is still haunts me to this day. Hopefully this film can lead us to a dialog and a dialog can lead us to real change.

Beautiful, yet tragic!

I recently viewed the documentary "Southern Comfort" and I can see why it won a prize at Sundance. This documentary chronicles the final year in the life of a transsexual man named Robert. It shows how prejudice and ignorance harms those whom are viewed to be "different" in our society. This film shows the love of Robert and Lola, as well as Robert's adopted family. I highly recommend this film.

"Nature delights in diversity. Why don't human beings?" - Lola Cola

I've watched this film dozens of times. It's an extremely powerful work. The timing of the filming, the choices and direction, and the rural country aesthetic are worthy of the title. I'll be watching it again soon.

good documentary

Another great documentary shown on HBO's America Undercover series.I found this to be an ultimately sad film.It made me appreciate my own life and glad I am happy in my own skin.I wish these people happiness.....somewhere in their lives.

best doc I've seen

This documentary has won many awards and I can see why. This is one of the best documentaries that I have ever seen. It is about a trans-gender from a woman to man named Robert Eads. This takes place in rural Toccoa, Georgia where Robert resides in a trailer. Because of prejudice and hate, the doctors refuse to treat Robert's ovarian cancer, which develop in his existing ovaries. He finds comfort in his trans-gender girlfriend Lola Cola and attends his last Southern Comfort conference. This film taught me a lot about diversity and how it is at times disregarded in this country. This made me open my eyes and stand up for the minorities of this country. I hope that the people who view this will get the same feeling whenever they view this documentary
