Miss Amazonas

2019 · 81 min

An intimate, quietly moving look at self-transformation and identity, tender and observant, with moments of joy and struggle.

Overview
This documentary portrays the life stories of some of the finalist candidates for the oldest trans beauty contest in Latin America. In it we see how they transform, not only their bodies, but also their vision of themselves, involving learning processes, discovery, evaluation and (re) affirmation of their gender identities and the image they want to project through their bodies.
