In this timely documentary, Yolande Zauberman seeks out a mysterious trans woman who walked from Gaza to Tel Aviv.
‘They were a fleeting vision one night during the shooting of M. Beautiful. One of them told Selim Nassib in Arabic that she had walked from Gaza to become a transsexual in Tel Aviv. I called her La Belle de Gaza. With my camera, I looked for her everywhere.’ – Yolande Zauberman
In her latest work, Yolande Zauberman tries to track down a mysterious trans woman who allegedly walked from Gaza to Tel Aviv, thus evoking the ever-present question of displacement and the layers of oppression faced by trans people in some parts of the world.
