Episode 89: 1on1 with Jordan Bryon & Monica Villamizar (TRANSITION)
Manage episode 409184624 series 1113719
In TRANSITION, Australian filmmaker and journalist Jordan Bryon gives the world an entirely different view of the Taliban regime during the fall of Afghanistan. Having gained incredible access to a Taliban unit, Bryon and his videographer, Teddy, give an authentic view of life under their oppressive regime. However, at the same time, Bryon’s journey with the military also coincides with his own physical transformation as a trans man. Out of concern for their lives, Bryon conceals his physiology in order to be accepted as a man, all the while struggling with the unique moral and ethical dilemma of his situation. As he gains more freedom during his transition, Bryon’s film also grapples with the oppression of women who attempt to find freedom themselves under the Taliban regime. In this 1on1, we speak to Bryon and co-director Monica Villamizar about living amongst the Taliban and being 'seen how you feel'.
