"The heart wrenching story of a man dying of ovarian cancer in Georgia and the Dr.'s who wouldn't treat him, won top honors at the Sundance Film Festival for best documentary.
The film traces the final year in the life of Robert Eads, an unfailingly good-humored 52-year-old female-to-male transsexual from the back hills of Georgia. Diagnosed with ovarian cancer after having lived as a man for many years, Eads was refused treatment by more than two dozen doctors, who feared his presence in their offices would embarrass and offend other patients.
