Abstract
"Pink Boy" is an award-winning, intimate 15-minute portrait of a gender-creative boy growing up in conservative rural Florida.  Butch lesbian BJ successfully avoided dresses her entire life until she and her partner Sherrie adopted Jeffrey, who to their shock, starts to dance in gowns and perform for his parents. As six-year-old Jeffrey increasingly wishes to dress up in public, BJ must navigate where it is safe for him, from school to a rodeo in Georgia to the ultimate holiday for a pink boy, Halloween. It is a story of love between a butch mother and her feminine son, in one sense opposites, but united by a determination to be who they truly are.

There's something rotten in the state of democracy. The programme starts with the shocking statistics about the dearth of women in government in the UK and North America, and explores three questions: Why does it matter to have women in government, Why don't we have more women now, and How do we quickly elect more women. The main interview is with Rt Hon Kim Campbell, the only woman to be head of government in North America. She's a dynamic, frank and witty speaker. Three political science professors are also interviewed, including Dr Rosi Campbell of University College London. Made by Gretchen Kelbaugh. The three parts can be shown separately if necessary.From Concord Media
