An outstanding documentary about transgender women in American male prisons, and the abuse and refusal of treatment they face. 'At a time when torture has haltingly become part of the national conversation, 'Cruel And Unusual' draws emotionally devastating attention to victims of violence who are persecuted for their stubborn visibility within the penal system - but remain invisible to an indifferent world outside. From Human Rights Watch's perspective, everyone needs to hear and see this film's crucial, disturbing, and enthralling story.' - Director LGBT Rights Program, HRW.
