Georgie Girl
Overview
In 1999, the largely conservative Wairarapa district in New Zealand elected a former cabaret performer/actress named Georgina Beyer to the country's House of Parliament -- a seemingly unremarkable event in that country's history except for the fact that Beyer is a transsexual and may very well be the first transsexual in the world to be elected to a national office. In their 2002 biographical documentary Georgie Girl, co-directors Peter Wells and Annie Goldson highlight the popular Member of Parliament's rapid rise through local government to prominence in the New Zealand national government.

A million people gathered on the Plaza de Mayo to acclaim the new President. One of CĂĄmpora's first presidential actions was a granting of amnesty to political prisoners who where jailed during the dictatorship.
