Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for documentary at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival, Southern Comfort is a feature-length documentary about the final year of Robert Eads‘ life, his battle against ovarian cancer and prejudice, and his short love affair with Lola, a trans woman.
A rare blend of humor, romance, and tragedy, Southern Comfort is the first non-fiction film to intimately tell a trans-to-trans love story, set against a disturbing tale of gender bias.

Southern Comfort was also turned into a musical of the same name by Dan Collins (book and lyrics), Julianne Wick Davis (music), and Thomas Caruso (director).
