Contents/Summary
- Summary
- When Mitchell was born, she was first assigned the gender “male” but when investigative surgery subsequently revealed that “he” had ovaries, Bruce was renamed “Ruth” and reassigned the gender “female.” “Black and White” picks up on Mitchell’s story in 2005, weaving together her unexpectedly humorous insights, along with photographer Rebecca Swan’s fascinating description of their creative collaboration on a book about gender identity. Combining intimate, present-day interviews with rich archival slides, photographs and film footage, as well as fragments of Super-8 stop-motion animation, this film is seen by the filmmaker as a tribute to Mitchell’s courage and fierce commitment to change.
