Just dropping a note to let anyone who doesn't know about a new film that came out this week...

Soldier's Girl


A True Story:

This is the story of Barry Winchell, a soldier in the 101st Airborne Division, who was brutally murdered by a fellow GI on July 4th, 1999, shortly after the installment of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. On an outing with his buddies, Barry had been captivated by the beautiful Calpernia Adams, a transgendered entertainer in a local Nashville nightclub, and the story focuses on the love that developed between them.

I work at Blockbuster and I got to see it before it was on the shelf. I was happy to see that it shows trans issues between the couple and those close to them. It was a pretty good movie...I recommend it.
