Sous La Peau - a Geneva film about trans identity
Sous La Peau / Under the Skin - is a film about trans identity. We meet Logan, Söan and Effie Alexandra and follow their journey in Geneva for 2 years.
Robin Harsch, Director of the film, and Mark Pasquesi, Director of Aardvark Film Emporium not-for-profit film distributors - join Katt Cullen on the Mid Morning Mix:
