Dressed in Blue by Antonio Giménez-Rico was the first Spanish documentary starring six transgender women to be released in commercial theaters. Today, 35 years later and with the perspective that comes with the passage of time, journalist Valeria Vegas analyzes how the media and cinema addressed transgenderism in a truly hostile era for such an exposed and minority group.

Through the circumstances surrounding Eva, Loren, Tamara, Josette, Nacha, and Renée, the author explores issues such as prostitution , the entertainment industry , social exclusion , and oppressive laws . Their lives are also those of many other women for whom democracy was not always synonymous with freedom.
