An artistic and groundbreaking examination of
gender, identity, and the unswerving bond of twinship despite transformation.
RWB
follows a pair of identical twins as one transitions from male to female.
Captured over a period of three years, the film documents the twins and their
parents, examining the Farleys' struggle to redefine their family.
The twins'
early lives were quintessentially all-American: picture-perfect holidays,
supportive parents who cheered them on every step of the way. By the time they
were 14, their parents had divorced, they had come out as gay, and a joint
suicide attempt precipitated a forced separation of Mark and Alex for two and
half years. Through candid and extensive interviews with the twins and their family,
RED WITHOUT BLUE recounts these troubled times, interweaving the twins'
difficult past with their efforts to find themselves in the present.
The film
follows the painful steps of Clair's transition, including electrolysis and the
difficult decision to proceed with bottom surgery. Through its portrayal of
these articulate and independent twins, each haunted by the painful experiences
of their adolescence, the film questions normative standards of gender and
identity - as Mark and Clair reassert their indescribable bond as identical
twins. Through the power of the Farleys' voices, we hear the story of a
family's redemption from a dark past, and ultimately, its revival to the
present.
