A Girl Like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story

The film constructs its narrative with a sober, respectful focus on Gwen's humanity, relying on the factual timeline to guide the story. It explores the climate of fear and misunderstanding that surrounded her life far beyond the single act of violence.

What lingers after the credits is a profound sense of a stolen future and a confrontation with the everyday biases that can have tragic consequences. It's a difficult but necessary memorial. — MovieFinder Editorial
