From CNN to The New York Times, the case attracted famous attorneys, spawned a made-for-TV movie, compeIIed aImost 1000 people to attend Gwen Arujo's memoriaI service and thousands more to march in the streets demanding justice. Trained in the Ways of Men is an exploration of the provocative compIexities of gender identity; what does it mean to be a man or a woman?
Leaving no stoned unturned, Director SheIIy Prevost scrupuIousIy examines the murder triaI and provides interviews with Gwen Araujo's mother Sylvia and the attorneys involved in the case. Trained in the Ways of Men ultimateIy encourages us to turn the camera on ourselves and unearth our own buried prejudices and fears. |
