Movie Info

When Jennifer Laude, a Filipina transwoman, is brutally murdered by a U.S. Marine, three women intimately invested in the case--Virgie Suarez, an activist attorney; Meredith Talusan, a transgender journalist; and Julita Nanay, Jennifer's mother--galvanize a political uprising, pursuing justice and taking on hardened histories of US imperialism.

Critic Reviews for Call Her Ganda

All Critics (7) | Top Critics (2)

With access to only one side of its central conflict, and a scattershot approach that skims over key details and points of interest, this well-intentioned documentary leaves audiences feeling like they're only getting part of a much larger story.

As suspenseful as it is moving.

Top Critic

Raval makes the audience see the continued hatred and prejudice against trans women that often manifests into violence.

May 18, 2018 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…

We have several very important issues all exploding at once here.

May 9, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

This is a film that doesn't shy away from challenging anyone's attitudes about trans people and the ongoing effects of colonialism.

April 26, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

A languidly told retrospective of Jennifer Laude's homicide, which meshes poignantly with the equally torpid, creaky judicial wheels of the U.S.-Filipino military industrial complex.
