Call Her Ganda

About This Movie

So, 'Call Her Ganda' is a documentary that hits hard and doesn’t pull any punches. It delves deep into the murder of Jennifer Laude, a trans woman in the Philippines, and how her brutal death by a U.S. Marine sparks a political firestorm. The pacing is intense, mixing interviews and real-life footage that really pulls you in. The performances, especially from the activist attorney and Jennifer’s mother, are raw and emotional. It really digs into the complexities of identity, justice, and the impact of U.S. imperialism in a way that's both personal and political. Definitely a film that resonates on many levels, with its powerful themes and the distinct storytelling style PJ Raval employs. It’s not your typical documentary, that's for sure.
