Say my name is a documentary about two transgender women who are struggling for the right to change their names and gender in all official documents and seeking respect from their families and society. Selem, 45 years old, is a transvestite; Diana, 22, is a transsexual woman.
"After the powerful 'Indianara', another excellent Brazilian documentary arrives to the general public to show details of the life of transgender people in the country. It's 'Say My Name', an emotional and urgent feature film by filmmaker Juliana Chagas Gouveia. Here, the political struggle is focused on the journey of these two women who want to change their names in the documents. Necessary, delicate and sensitive, the feature film shows the details of this fight (including legal) that affects the lives of thousands of Brazilians while they try to register their identities in the intricate bureaucracy."
