East Coast independent filmmaker and seemingly consummate "guy's guy" Joe O'Ferrell
had something to tell people. Loading up the cameras in order to catch it all on tape,
Joe turns to the crew and matter-of-factly reveals leading a secret life as a woman
and the intention to transition and live as a woman, full-time.
Thus the journey begins through the series of feminizing surgeries and treatments
to become Michelle Ann Farrell. However, Michelle quickly realizes that the physical
changes are relatively easy compared to the momentous task of re-introducing herself
to those who have known her as a son, a buddy, a national hockey champion, and a role
model who came back from the depths of a life mired in drugs to make a better life.
UNRAVELING MICHELLE is a film that’s uplifting and inspiring for anyone who struggles
with surviving in their own skin.
