Review of Red Without Blue (2007) by Roxanne R — 26 Feb 2011

Powerful, poignant and moving true story of two beautiful identical twin brothers born in Montana (Alex and Mark). During the three years of filming the documentary the viewer watches as these men not only come to terms with their homosexuality but also the amazing transformation of one of them into a woman.

We meet their parents who are the typical American family raising two adorable twin boys but as they became teenagers, they faced discrimination from classmates and teachers for being gay. As a viewer this breaks my heart because the photos of them as kids and teens were so beautiful.

..its like I wanted to love those boys so much and to protect them and let them know that the world is NOT an ugly place because some people in the world loves them for who they are! I am so glad that they are both alive and survived the perilous teenage years! Wish I knew Ladd's full name to see if I can find her in Facebook- she is one courageous woman for undergoing a similar transformation and may I say a good skeet shooter! Highly recommended documentary!!
