Janet Jackson calls to ‘stop the hate’ towards transgender people in new documentary
by Mel Spencer

Janet Jackson is set to become the executive producer of a documentary covering the lives
and struggles of transgender people around the world.
    New York’s Brainchild Films announced yesterday that Jackson will take part in
on-camera interviews in their new documentary, Truth, which begins production this
summer.
    “All people are very important to me,” said Jackson. “Truth is our small chance to
ask that you try and understand someone who lives their life in a way that is a little
bit different from yours, even though all of our hearts are the same. We want to
stop the hate and find understanding.”
    Director Robert Jason, whose previous documentaries have included a film
detailing the lives of four transgender New Yorkers, has turned his attention to
stories from around the globe in this new project, featuring people from Europe,
North America, Australia and Latin America. He claims his new film will highlight
landmark stories in the LGBT community and change the gender landscape of
the world in the future.
“Just as it is hard to believe that there ever was a time when different components
of society were required to use separate drinking fountains, it is as incredible that
one’s gender expression remains just such a target for discrimination,” he said.
    This film is another of Jackson’s projects that places her as a firm ally of the
LGBT community. Her sixth studio album, The Velvet Rope, spoke out against
homophobia in 1997, and she has since been recognised by the GLAAD Media
Awards and human rights charities.
