Trinidad Colorado - The Movie?
The film chronicles Trinidad, Colorado's transformation from Wild West outpost and "Victorian Jewel of Southern Colorado" to "Sex Change Capital of the World," and follows three transgender women who may just steer the rural ranching town (pop. 9,077) toward becoming the "transsexual mecca."
TRINIDAD will 'officially' premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival in mid-June, but we get a special sneak peak at all the controversy surrounding this small locally-produced doc because the filmmakers are Austinites and they need our help! Proceeds from this screening will help filmmakers PJ Raval and Jay Hodges cover finishing costs before the big premiere in LA! Just imagine….'Made possible by contributions from viewers like YOU!'

Ditto to the person who posted their comments about Trinidad Colorado, the "movie".
As a property owner and future resident, this came as a surprise since we fell in love with Trinidad quite a few years ago because of it people, history, location and timeless beauty. We didn't notice any women's stores that carried xx womens clothing and size 12 pumps! We once encountered a transexual in a little bar downtown, probably in 2001 or so. We didn't pay much attention since you can find people anywhere you go or live that decided to make the "change". Haven't these movie guys ever heard of Miami, New Orleans, New York, San Francisco or Key West? They must lead very sheltered lives! Anybody who wants to make a movie about transexuality can go to any of the above cities and not have a problem finding size 12 pumps.
Portraying Trinidad as the "Transexual Capitol of the World" is quite the fiction. Or, is it a documentary? Yep, somebody should make a movie about the "real" Trinidad. I think that Ravel and Hodges are as confused as the people they had dinner with.
