Let Me Die a Woman is a 1978 semidocumentary film concerning the lives of transgender people, directed and produced by the exploitation film auteur Doris Wishman.[1]

Plot

[edit]

The film contains interviews with the gender dysphoria pundit and caregiver Dr. Leo Wollman as well as transgender people, including the transgender rights activist Deborah Hartin. Between the interviews, there are staged dramatizations of the interviewees' experiences.

Reception

[edit]

DVD Talk said of the film, "jaw-droppingly divine, completely original and purposefully obtuse, Let Me Die a Woman has long been the Mount Everest of many a Wishman fan. Who knew finding it and finally climbing it would be so remarkably rewarding."[2]
