becoming black a new film by enos johnson spain who was led to believe it was a genetic peculiarity that she was born black into a white family back in 1966 germany. and the belgian city of shah was forgotten industrial sites are becoming tourist attractions thanks to an intrepid tour guide. today in germany between 60100000 people identify as transgender off to reunification germany became a place of advance of patient and sexual liberation like chaos or christopher street day parade there while many transgender people feel more accepted in today's society this was always the case. for all series on the 990 s.

the formative decade that followed the fall of the berlin wall we met up again with michelle meyer a transsexual woman with usual story who as a man was crowned a beauty queen and 990. at the beginning of the 1990 s. freedom and equality were not a matter of course for germany's clear community the world health organization removed homosexuality from its list of psychiatric disorders in 1990 but many people remained prejudiced. positive already rather you were john. along with. those who didn't conform to the traditional heterosexual gender norms continue to face struggles like i show my a few decreasing from by force. i'm transsexual which means that i've altered my body to fit my sense of myself as

a woman the decisive point is that i was crowned miss by a quiet in 1991 when i was still a man stevens i don't know and none. michelle was named michelle at birth before having any gender confirmation surgery she took part in a beauty contest and. she outed herself as transgender after her victim that was considered a scam. came 29 years later we met up with her again. up the family side it was very difficult at the time to survive as a transgender or gay or lesbian person especially by white a small but very in town that was taboo of course it was really bad with all the threats i got death threats phone calls wrong and hounded or fact. despite such adversity michelle doesn't regret coming out just the opposite she's proud of herself and of her past and she hopes to be

a role model for others. to get sophie mentioned he thinks there are so many people who have the same problem i do who would like to go down the same path but don't know where to turn or what they should do but they hide themselves just as i had myself for years too afraid of coming out so i thought that was the opportunity to say people tolerate us we're human beings just like everyone else yes or yes we're thinking also mention the. last tolerance a lot of fear people spoke about that in the ninety's on heat our t.v. program for young people. from rising bollards was what hurt me the most was this ostracism of being told that you're a different kind of person that you're abnormal and belong anywhere cool with a gay partnership isn't really all that accepted by society when he walk around holding hands or sharing a kiss on the subway people stay or you feel left alone and cast out. with one.

for a lot of people the ninety's turned out to be an era of change. with guns and exploring the twilight and i have to honestly say that after i came out things got a bit better in terms of tolerance i'd say that after about 5 to 7 years people got more tolerable because there was a phase of education that t.v. shows and newspapers got much better at explaining and showing why a person is transgender what are their gay why they're lesbians. the hope for adults with. slowly but surely there was a liberalization of society in the 1990 s. but for germany's clear community today there is still some way to go when it comes to equality and civil rights. a true story now from the former east germany has been into a documentary it's filmmaker in his johnson's by its own story

a parent's always told her about how darker skin was simply a coincidence conceiving the truth that her biological father was actually from africa. the coming black is johnson spain's attempt to understand the past. pictures of the happy family the son is white the daughter is black the children believe it's just a whim of nature. nothing feeling. it's like ms annoys them to act shops. ceased did this for my sake. isn't ones i nicked as the news of movies in the country and. as a student. to help nutrition out of course i was looking for an explanation trying to make sense of it without having to doubt my parents are. my age but looking back i actually think that i always sensed that this could really be the answer.

but that was the story young enos grew up in former communist east germany in the 1960 s. she was 12 before she learned that her biological father came from tokyo in africa her mother met her father while he was studying in town now an affair that was never talked about the director confronts her adoptive father about how this was possible. this. is a selfish look for the truth. there for me the modern view of the. place is full of good news my next times as many would go. in the prim social climate of the socialist worker state it seems this was a taboo subject for family and friends to.

garnish that we don't knock it out when it gets to any machine to. the touch of clan be a bond i have had. a child resulting from an infidelity and on top of a dog a black child that was considered too much back then the result of resoundingly collective silence being different and the hurtful looks he attracted were unsettling for us as a teenager i just harvest and take it as my mates from. my no trouble. caused. by them it should have are much much more of those ministers and. hidden from mr billow vick a half. dozen tired to 5 time also these are just the terrible effects of racism the internalization of racism which leads to the grow in us not feeling comfortable in her skin and therefore to her rejecting everything that looks like her for her

to know how to decide on is up into a source who to be bad but the film is not an indictment the director focuses on her search for identity in 2 parts of the world she did later meet her biological father in mohai montana who died in 2010 in the film the director travels to togo and meets his and her family. experiencing. enos brings a picture of lucy back to his home. where it takes its place in the gallery of johnson family ancestors. becoming black is a haunting and poetic journey that sheds light on a neglected chapter of german history. nature holds a vacuum as the saying goes abandon the dust for landscapes america section while some people might consider eyesores all the focus of. extremely

popular the far east the belgian city is crammed full of industrial of what might be called distressed architectural highlights as another saying goes beauty is in the eye of the behold isn't it. maginnis is also in the eye of the beholder so one man is offering 2 years of child line about him chosen by a dutch newspaper as the roads out of the city. urban safaris picked up precisely because people want to see the decay of belgium's one time industrial metropolis. i decided i wanted to do an anti taught. if this city has a bad reputation then i'll play that up with a make it the subject of the n.t. taught. at one time just south of brussels numbered among europe's wealthiest cities boasting several impressive estates. but then the

big steel works and mines closed down. now 40 year old artist. shows visitors from the world around his city. base are more mobile the germans have a word for it that the french don't understand industry. you might compare it to the artists of the 19th century who travel to see the ruins of ancient rome. passed since the steelworks closed here the young people don't know the old industrial age so it gives them space for romanticising with. the top sightings in store for the tourists and their guide on this urban safari include blast furnace is cooling towers and factory home hardly any of the industrial buildings along the sampler and mass rivers are still in operation. attracts artists not just from the area but

even many from the capital brussels they come looking for a creative outlet. i think of as a kind of freedom here there are plenty of very much new spaces and they offer lots of possibilities. one such building is this one originally a steel forge founded in 832 it stood empty for 20 years before an artist collective revitalized. another highlight of this urban jungle other subway stations they were finished over 30 years ago but never. says the hilly slag heap have made child richer than many believe. from up here you can see the city is very green poverty is born in the mind after all the cost of living in china was not high if you've got 3 friends a little garden and
