Metamorphosis: The Remarkable Journey of Granny Lee (2000, South Africa)
Director Luiz De Barros
with Leonard Du Plooy, Herb Klein, The Baroness, Bryan Bath, Shirley Lee, Brent Quinn, Sudley Adams, Ruth Barter, Nicholas Molenaar, Guy Raphaely, Mark Schwingel, Federico Sanchez
Rich Cline's review ran thus:
This is indeed a remarkable journey, documenting the life of a South African black man (Du Plooy) who lived most of his adult life as a white woman called Granny Lee, the disco queen of Johannesburg! With skin lightened by vitiligo it wasn't too difficult for this gay man to live a life that would have been impossible for blacks during the Apartheid years. The film begins with his/her death at age 81 in a car crash, and then traces back through his early years and his eventual transformation into a larger-than-life diva.
