Update & Announcement for #Documentary Film Project, “ALMOST”

Red Haircrow

ANNOUNCEMENT 4 March 2025:

With the reign of terror, violence and extreme violations of human rights being waged against transgender people in the USA, particularly BIPOC. The rising, normalized hate, ignorance and apathy towards the reality of transgender, nonbinary, genderfluid and Two Spirit people in western society, we have decided our documentary production will focus solely on such persons and ally perspectives. Education, empathy and common decency is lacking, lagging, and in some cases non-existent, even with those who considered themselves open-minded, progressive and non-discriminatory.

  • Some previous footage from other submitted and recorded interviews may be included in our web series. But those were recorded 2023 and previous, and we wish to ensure no participants are those who support the dictatorship and violence occurring in the USA, its illegal government, nor any of its inhumane policies in-land or around the world.
  • Consider purchasing or sharing information about our anthology dedicated to transgender, etc. voices “Varied Spirits, vol. 1″ edited by Red Haircrow and Manuel Ricardo Garcia, published 31 March 2023 on the International Transgender Visibility Day.
  • If you are a transgender, genderfluid, genderqueer, nonbinary, Two Spirit person or ally, of whatever background or heritage, and may wish to be part of the project?
    Please use the contact form!
  • What are your stories? Histories? Struggles and triumphs? What do you believe the world needs to know? It doesn’t have to be momentous, newsworthy or special according to “society’s standards”. We know that sometimes the most simple things, memories, thoughts can be the most profound and moving!

AL string

Description: A new short documentary and web-series on the intersection of realities, identities and Indigeneity, and the concept of being enough, no matter what or who you are. Following the lives of individuals on sexuality, gender, and culture plus the effects of stigma and prejudice on everyone. Production has begun again, and the innovative film will combine unique animated storytelling and live scenes to inspire hope and courage in these challenging times. 2nd Teaser.

Almost normal.
Almost acceptable.
Almost Indigenous.

Half, a quarter, a fraction, a piece.
Gender, sexuality, ethnicity, cognitive or physical dis-/abilities.
Toxic beliefs, ableist and racist structures in society continue to harm.

Some are embracing their differences in order to heal…and they’re connecting.

Directed by Red Haircrow
Animations by Neda Ahmadi

“J.K. Rowling und die Trans*Community: Wo ist das Problem?” (In Deutsch).

Recently, at http://kino.de on #transphobia & #TERFS, from Kristina Kielblock, a friend who was also a participant in my documentary film, “ForgetWinnetou! Loving in the Wrong Way”. It mentions my essay on “two spirit” people, which is also on redhaircrow.com.

“The same mentality that ignores #Indigenous rights to self-representation are often those who also stereotypes and gaslight GLBTIIQ people, women, the disabled or economically challenged, especially BIPOC just for desiring change and equality. It is basically saying, “My gratification is more important than your dignity, your rights or even your life.” This is a main facet of rape culture. It is intersecting oppression.”

When someone’s personal opinion plus structural and societal power is used to gaslight, harm, increase discrimination, violence and even death of other people? That’s the problem. And yes, whyte women who choose to emulate the worst of their male counterparts can absolutely be supporting systems of abuse, just as they supported their colleagues in enslaving African peoples, in villainizing and eradicating Indigenous people, in exploiting Asian lands and peoples, in finding and “liquidating” Jews and other “undesirables” in Nazi Europe. Often while crying they are the most discriminated against. #OppressionOlympics.
