HEAR ME ROAR   
TRANSGENDER MOVIE UNVEILS CAST
A movie about a groundbreaking British trans marriage case HEAR ME ROAR has added Christopher Eccleston, Anna Friel and Emma Thompson. It tells the story of Elizabeth Bellinger (Rebecca Root), who became one of the few transgender people in Britain to get married in the 1980s. She kept this ceremony secret from almost everyone until 2000 when she launched a campaign to have her marriage to Michael Bellinger (Christopher Eccleston) legally recognized and the case went to the courts. The drama starts with her meeting with barrister Ashley Bayston (Anna Friel) and follows the resulting complex legal obstacle course they undertook over the next three years. Thompson will play the judge. Julian Ovenden also star.
