Jewls Darl

“…I mean to say, shouldn’t I be in love with a fella or something?” Mandy (Richard Hanna), a man who dresses as a woman, describes his relationship with transsexual Jewel (future politician Georgina Beyer). Jewel’s Darl concentrates on the fine details of their relationship: tea and biscuits in bed, Jewel’s belief in staying strong against other people’s mockery, and Mandy’s memories of a troubled childhood. Nominated for multiple NZ Film and Television awards after finally getting a TV slot, Peter Wells’ drama was inspired by an Anne Kennedy short story, which won the 1983 Katherine Mansfield Award.
