Dwa serca, dwa smutki
Two Hearts, Two Hurts

Summary/Abstract: Agnieszka Holland’s A Girl Like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story, a 2006 TV-film, almost unknown in Poland, was for many American transsexuals and their families a moment of revelation. Made for the Lifetime channel, a station specializing in family programming, such as good food programs, the film was not only screened during prime-time but also was seen by a record number of viewers, usually reserved for great cinema blockbusters. During the first showing of the film, the story of Eddy-Gwen, a transsexual boy, was seen by over five million viewers. Holland’s film met not only with great commercial success but also with critical acclaim of the press and film critics (the film was awarded a number of prizes).
