Georgina stunned the world in 1999 by becoming the first transgendered person to hold national office. Born George Beyer, this unlikely politician grew up in a small Tarankai farm and later became a small-time celebrity on the cabaret circuit in Auckland. With charisma, humor and charm, Beyer unapologetically recounts her fascinating life story, shares how she overcame adversity and discloses the reasons she decided to run for office in a mostly all white, conservative electorate. Incorporating archival images dug up from Georgina’s days as an exotic dancer, theatre and television performer, this documentary breaks down stereotypes and promotes greater understanding of transgendered people. 580 Soros Documentary Fund 655 4 Documentary films 260 New Zealand : |bAn Occasional Production, |c2001. 041 eng 952 |00 |10 |40 |50 |70 |8FL |992643FL |bFL |d2016-11-25 |l0 |r2016-11-25 |w2016-11-25 |yDVD-ROM 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6FL_RECORD_2621_000000000000000 |70 |8FL |9149031FL |bFL |d2019-04-30 |l0 |oFL Record 2621 |pHU_OSA_00004234.mp4 |r2021-11-04 |w2019-04-30 |yDIGIFILM |zAccess Copy, MP4 format |cAudio Visual 920 01 doy27QXk 966 True |bHU_OSA_00004234 |cDigitally Anywhere / With Registration
