Planned Parenthood is proud to present Lola Cola and the Sundance Grand Jury Prize Winning Documentary, Southern Comfort.

We hope you'll join us this coming Thursday night for a special screening to highlight the start of transgender services in our Chapel Hill health center.

Southern Comfort shows the challenges faced by transgender people when accessing health care. It follows the final year in the life of Robert Eads, a female-to-male transsexual. Eads, diagnosed with ovarian cancer, was turned down for treatment by two dozen doctors out of fear that caring for such a patient would hurt their reputations. By the time Eads received treatment, the cancer was too advanced to save his life. During his final year, Robert fell in love with male-to-female transsexual, Lola Cola, who will introduce the film and do a Q&A afterwards.

Thanks to partner in planning, Equality NC Trans Policy Task Force, and the generosity of local sponsors benefits will help provide health care for transgender people coming to Planned Parenthood.
