Church of Film: The Clan’s Heir is a Trans Woman
Leave it to Church of Film to dig up a hardcore crime flick with a trans–positive message! This 2013 Japanese flick is also a peculiar, unlikely entry in trans cinema history. The Clan’s Heir Is a Trans Woman follows a yakuza plan whose search for a new boss finds them in a queer bar, where Nana, a trans woman, must learn to navigate the “ultra-macho” world of the yakuza. Best part? The journey is kinda charming—you might even shed a tear or two. LINDSAY COSTELLO
