The Temperature in Lima

A transgender man (again portrayed by Campbell) faces, at first, away from the camera, head out of frame, describing his trauma, before an off-camera voice questions whether he should be able to teach in public schools. Later, the woman from Malibu recounts a series of frightening phone calls she received after her husband’s death.

The second part in a series of six tapes following The Woman From Malibu.

The Temperature in Lima is presented alongside The Scientist Tapes, part 1 , The Ballad of Dan Peoples, The Woman From Malibu, and The Temperature in Lima as part of the May 2026 edition of e-flux Film’s series Staff Picks featuring Lisa Steele and Colin Campbell. This edition of Staff Picks is organized in collaboration with Vtape.
