Transilience
is an intensely personal and powerful film that features film writer, activist and educator Joelle Ruby Ryan. The film takes viewers on a journey into her life as a gender outlaw. Mixing performance footage of trans autobiographical fragments throughout the life cycle with stock footage, found images, and still photos, the video entices viewers to imagine what life outside of the gender binary is really like, up close and personal. Raw and passionate, viewers see the persecution that Joelle has faced, as well as her complex political evolution and activist awakening. Joelle Ruby Ryan is a lecturer in the Women's Studies Program at UNH.  Film is sponsored by Kidder Fund, Health Services and Women's Studies.
