-The tale of Elliot Page, a renowned actor who stars in numerous movies such as Juno,

was 34 years old and became renowned for his performance, which led him to casts in

large movies such as X-men, Inception, and so on in the first documentary. Page

identified before as a straight lady, but subsequently as a homosexual woman. Later,

Page became a transgender with pronouns, he/she/they changed his name from Ellen

Page to Elliot Page. Page was the only transgender.

-Dominique Jackson, age 55, a trans who is recognized for her portrayal in the series

Pose is the primary character in the second documentary. A man, model and author in the

business, Dominique is known. Dominique had married Al Jackson, but subsequently

disclosed a split at the end of 2018.

The documentary tells the tale of Elliot Page, and Dominique Jackson, two people in the

business, in which the film reconstructs their experiences and battles for what they are or

what they're now. 1. The story of Elliot Page tells us how it struggled to find itself despite

of being a Hollywood figure that dictates most of its life's related things, like wearing,

talking and so on, but then had the courage to come forward as a transgender to accept
 one's identity completely, without anyone preventing one from being happy. 2. Dominique

Jackson’s tells the story of how she fought for her rights and for what she wants for herself

even though she had to go through hell most specially with how the people reacted to

what her decisions was. To be honest people like them do not deserve to go through what

they went through. People should have accepted them, but we cannot really turn back

time and I doubt that people back then did not really listen to the opinions of others

because they just believed that what they know and believe was already right.

We have Ellen Page or Elliot Page in the first documentary. Elliot is renowned for his outstanding

performance, which has made him the cause of his recognition in cinema. Prior to his emergence

as a homosexual and transgender, Elliot was well known as Ellen Page, in which he said he

wasn't happy since it prevented him from revealing the world who he truly is. He thought he was

a joyful figure. On Dominique Jackson's second film about life. In the second documentary, our

primary character is characterized as a working and powerful personality. Dominique utilizes her

position to foster and fight for the rights of transgender persons and women, when she herself is

engaged in advocates who talk about transgender, harassing, undermining, and targeting

women in this community. Besides that, the rewards of her long and hard fight in the industry

were eventually brought to her by her gender reconfirmation operation in which she had her

greatest goal since childhood.

In Elliot's transition, Elliot described her journeyed as a journey to fear because society

often discriminates against Queer people who are in the business so that, according to

Elliot, he is often forced to do things that are not in his will; he described them as a day

when she could accept herself without caring for her image. She described Dominique
 Jackson's story about her own gender, in which at 4 she wanted her genitalia (penis) to be

turned into a woman. Then later on she found herself in the trans community, in which

Dominique Jack's news outlets told her that she was accepted by and made herself her

cousin along with her identity.

- I'd also do the same if I'd be in their own shoes to be what I really want in my life. It

matters nothing to me and to ourselves, if your personal peace and pleasure will be found,

to be labeled as transgender or queer individuals in our society. In the same way, the two

figures have become, along with the things that they've done in the documentary, also an

activist who advocates the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community, a very powerful and

responsible role to be played by both persons, as they have a great influence on our

society. Moreover, behind the successes of the two figures in the documentary, he is

caught up in a wrong body as Hollywood dictates every action according to him that

sometimes violates him, and in the case of Dominique Jackson, as he was violated
 through the priesthood. In fact, his struggle is in the end of his career today.
Put your answers in Q7 here.

- I have been open to the reality that most priests in the Churches produce havoc in the

minds of people who want their faith only to be reinforced, such as in the case of

Dominique, who is raped by a priest who caused her to fall down during her teenage

years. Therefore, I am now totally persuaded that the church is experiencing dark things

that include children and other things that violate fundamental human rights.

- The tale of the two people in the video made me understand just how essential it is to

appreciate you rather than worry about how society reacts or accepts you. In Elliot's case,

he was instructed to do what Hollywood would accept him and thus he was disgusted that

he could not be his own self, if he continued to obey the laws of being a character in

Hollywood, so once he was released, he said he was not afraid of what the others would

say to him. The same applies for Dominique Jackson, by overcoming several obstacles,

she is now a defender and a voice to many individuals who cannot speak on their own

who she is today, like herself, moving to another country since her family cannot accept

her as a transgender.

- Lastly, I think Dominique's life will always have a special spot in my mind because,

throughout her life, she has been violated, disgraced, and discriminated many times in her

story. These have therefore not hampered her in the work she has now been doing, so

she used it to motivate herself to go more, to thrive more.
