Profiling four transgender young adults in New York state, this diverse and thoughtful documentary observes the everyday experiences of coming of age while exploring one’s true identity. Despite the difference in backgrounds, Sean, Katherine, Olivia and Morgin all exhibit strength in the face of societal expectations and cultural traditions to fight for acknowledgement and understanding of trans youth. Director Pamela French beautifully weaves and balances the narrative threads while never distracting from the powerful voices of these four individuals–whether they’re dealing with mental illness or nervous about performing a stand-up comedy routine. And through sharing their stories, the fearless foursome take control of their own lives and reach self-acceptance as they navigate their paths toward adulthood.
