Hedwig Robinson’s band “The Angry Inch” has been on tour, following the more successful rockstar Tommy Gnosis. During the evening’s concert, Hedwig steps out to tell her story – one that involves her childhood as Hansel Schmidt in East Berlin, her botched sex change, and her life as a transgender in America. Her story is ultimately a cathartic journey of self-realization.
