You need to see this documentary
I didn’t know what to expect when I started watching this documentary. And slowly, I came to see who Kristen Beck is, and how earnest and genuine she is. She gave so much to this country. And now she is trying to live her life, simply as herself–with the same honesty and focus and intensity she brought to her work in the Navy for twenty-one years. The film is done very well. It tries hard to show both sides of a complex and brilliant individual, one who continues to serve her country. There is so much hyperbole about SEALS. How they are supermen, capable of doing the impossible. The best of the best. There are movies and books and stories about their feats. The reality as shown in this documentary is both different and more exciting because it is real. They are real. The camaraderie between Kristen and her former teammates transcends gender. She is, and always will be, a Navy SEAL. Period. That says more about the SEALS than any dramatization ever could. You will come to see that gender is a non-issue. What matters–both in the military and in all areas of life–is commitment, ideals and a willingness to work hard. Lady Valor is heartwarming and inspiring. And Kristen Beck is someone we should all be proud of. She is one of ours.
A Powerful Story about A Navy Seal’s Transformation to a Woman
Lady Valor was well-received at its world premiere at Austin’s SXSW Film Festival. The unique transformation of Chris to Kristen is eloquently conveyed. The film, which was developed from a profile originally run by CNN’s Anderson Cooper, tells the remarkable story of the transformation of a macho gung-ho decorated 20-year Navy Seal from a man’s man to a woman. Obviously, it is meant to challenge some of the stereotypes that often exist about the transgendered. The story is certainly well-told with deft touch for humanizing Kristen’s struggles. It shows Kristen’s often difficult struggle for acceptance with her family and her former military colleagues. I think this story might have been more shocking a few years ago and still will be with certain audiences although at this stage it didn’t seem all that hard to believe for the audience at a progressive film festival in a liberal city like Austin, TX. Of course, these aren’t the people that need to see this story. This film needs to be viewed by military folks who may still hold negative views of transgendered youth. It also needs to be viewed by young people in some more conservative parts of the country who haven’t been exposed to this sort of situation. Unfortunately, I fear that the folks that most need to see this film are ones least likely to view it.
