Clean-cut Glen (Ed Wood) seemingly has everything a man could ever want: a good job, nice friends, and a loving fiancé, Barbara (Dolores Fuller). But there’s a problem: there’s another woman in Glen’s life who threatens to ruin it all…himself.

Inspired by the real life successful sex reassignment surgery of Christine Jorgensen, Glen or Glenda was one of the world’s first trans-centric movies and is a deeply touching amalgam of accidental avant-garde, the manipulative authority of the medical profession, and the power of sexuality.
