But when he is swimming, he feels peaceful. As far as he is in the water, he feels so comfortable as if he were in mom’s arms. Because Do-wan likes water and is talented with swimming, he keeps working hard to become a swimming athlete. His father, who hates water dreadly, objects to his son’s dream to become a swimming athelte. Due to the repeated conflict with his father, Do-wan drifts apart from his father gradually.

A Mexican Fable: Murder and the Feather Boa

La Vanessa was the organiser of the first gay rights march in Chiapas State, Mexico. Four years after her murder in 1992, this study of mexican transvestite culture documents a period of fear marked by 29 brutal murders. It originally aired in '96 as part of Channel 4's Latino Nights line-up ("a season of programmes from and about Latin America"), and--aside from showing up at a few niche trans-festivals here and there--seems to have disappeared altogether after that.
