Southern Comfort (2001) is a documentary film about the final year in the life of Robert Eads, a female-to-male transsexual. Eads, diagnosed with ovarian cancer, was turned down for treatment by two dozen doctors out of fear that such a patient as Eads would hurt their practice. By the time Eads received treatment, the cancer was too advanced to save his life.

Director: Kate Davis

Synopsis

The film begins in the spring. Eads falls in love with Lola, a male-to-female transsexual. That summer, his mother and father drive ten hours to visit Robert, who is still their daughter in their eyes. Later that year, Eads makes his last appearance at the Southern Comfort Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, a prominent transgender gathering. Already feeling ill, he addresses a crowd of 500 and takes Lola to what is for them a prom that never was.
