Documentary/Gay & Lesbian: Prodigal Sons- 2008


In high school, Kimberly Reed was male, a straight-A student and captain of the football team. But since leaving his rural Montana hometown, he's become a woman -- and a filmmaker whose documentary could not be any more personal. Half the story involves her attending her high school reunion as a transgendered female; the other half involves reuniting with her siblings, including her estranged adopted brother. (netflix.com)


Grade: A


I originally saw a segment about this movie on Oprah, and when I came across it on netflix I decided to check it out. The whole idea behind the documentary, and the intimate and personal side of it was very compelling, and incredibly interesting. This was just a very up-close and personal look into the life of this woman, and her family relationships, as well as her brother's. This was made very well, and is well worth the watch, in my opinion.
