Soldier's Girl
This film is based on the true story of Private Barry Winchell, a 21-year-old soldier beaten to death in army barracks because of his love affair with a transgendered nightclub singer. The heterosexual Winchell surprises even himself when he decides to date the vulnerable pre-op transsexual. But as the relationship grows, it infuriates Winchell's mentally unstable roommate, who incites a fellow soldier to murder Winchell with a baseball bat.
A scathing indictment of the codified machismo and homophobia that permeate military life, this film is also a tender story of a love that transcends boundaries.
