A new documentary series lifts the veil on gender affirmation surgeries and gives privileged access to these medical procedures, performed in Montreal, which change thousands of lives every year.
The Urbania team obtained, to shoot the documentary series “A new day”, unprecedented access to the private hospital center specializing in transaffirmative surgeries, GrS Montreal, the only one of its kind in Canada and whose expertise is unique in world.
Since 1980, the GrS Montreal team has performed more than 10,500 surgeries for trans and non-binary clients around the world.
Through the touching stories and inspiring journeys of patients who pass through the Grs Montreal, the documentary series, which is divided into eight 30-minute episodes, presents the behind the scenes of gender affirmation, from the operating room to the recovery and rehabilitation.
The series is well designed. It will certainly be suitable for the curious and for all those interested in medical broadcasts. She monitors both the clientele and the medical staff who see to welcoming, helping and supervising patients who are about to experience one of the most significant events of their lives. She takes a sensitive, empathetic and touching look at the reality of trans people who have recourse to vaginoplasty or phalloplasty.
“A new day” also highlights the surgical prowess accomplished on site every day, which since its opening in 1973 has also saved thousands of lives.
For the moment, the documentary series produced by Urbania, in collaboration with Bell Media, will be reserved for subscribers to the Crave video-on-demand platform, but it is not excluded that it will one day live on other Bell Media channels. .
Directed by Emilie Ricard-Harvey, “A New Day” is available on Crave from May 11.
