Little Girl

Little Girl in my opinion is a must see. An astonishingly respectful, person centred documentary; following little 7 yrs old Sasha as she & her family negotiate living fully as the girl she is. I'm in awe at the family doing this kindness for the kids that follow. My late friend and LGBT volunteer Gladys was indeed 7 yrs old when she knew she too was a girl way back in 1943. She didn't have the support or care wee Sasha has had from the true professionals looking out for her, prioritising listening to her and ensuring their work is focussed on her happiness at this essential stage in her life. I guess that is part of why this splendid documentary had such an impact upon me. I watched on Curzon Home Cinema on Mark Kermode's recommendation - I hope they bring it back. So many parents could benefit from sight of it, especially so seeing wee Sasha's mum struggles with the questions we might not think obvious. Her dad and brother are just the best too! I hope ultimately, there is a Blu-ray/DVD release too.
