CUBA'S VIBRANT TRANS COMMUNITY! With Liam Duran Cardona **PLUS - BONUS VIDEO INTERVIEW**

Updated: Sep 28, 2018

Sometimes, as soon as you meet someone you know that they are a very special spirit. Such was the case meeting Liam in 2018 during the International Day Against Homophobia & Transphobia celebration. In all actually we had met in passing the year before but only had a chance to exchange "hola's".


This time around, Liam approached me and spoke passionately about the need for Cuba's Transboy community to be more visible. He asked if I would be willing to work with him on a documentary film about their issues. Of course I said yes.


The filmed interview below, was conducted in Pinar del Rio, Cuba during a break from the activities of "La Jornada".


We hope to move forward with our film project in the coming months.....so stay tuned!
