July 26, 2010 - PRLog -- The widely successful Washougal International Film Festival will feature the equally successful documentary Trans/Formed, on Friday August 20—created, executive produced and directed by Cleo Valente.

The film Trans/Formed explores the lives of four transgender females of different ethnic backgrounds living in Los Angeles.  The documentary exposes the truths and challenges to the transgender community by revealing past horrors, present taboos and future dreams.
