The first film in the "Making Scenes" screening series, hosted and with a post-film discussion by Ellise Barbara. This documentary from 1998 explores perspectives on gender variance and diversity outside of the westernized radical norm. As California Newsreel describes this: "Woubi Chéri is the first film to give African homosexuals a chance to describe their world in their own words. Often funny, sometimes ribald, but always real, this documentary introduces us to gender pioneers demanding their right to construct a distinct African homosexuality."
