Transgender Documentary FROM THIS DAY FORWARD – This Weekend at Webster University
“Sharon, I hope when you get married, you’ll let me wear a dress when I walk you down the aisle.”
FROM THIS DAY FORWARD screen this Friday through Sunday (June 17th-19th) at Webster University’s Moore Auditorium (470 E. Lockwood, Webster Groves, MO 63119). The film begins each evening at 8:00.
In FROM THIS DAY FORWARD filmmaker Sharon Shattuck returns home to examine the mystery at the heart of her upbringing: how her transgender father Trisha and her straight-identified mother Marcia stayed together against all odds. When her father came out as transgender, Sharon was in the awkward throes of middle school. Her father’s transition to female was difficult for her straight-identified mother to accept, but her parents remained married. As Sharon approaches her own wedding day, she returns home to Michigan to ask her parents how their love survived against all odds. FROM THIS DAY FORWARD is a moving portrayal of an American family coping with the most intimate of transformations and you’ll have the chance to see it when it makes its St. Louis premiere this weekend at Webster University.
