Filmed over three years, this documentary explores the hopes, dreams, and everyday
reality of Kenya’s intersex and transgender communities. When Sidney’s family disowns
him and threatens his life, he flees to Nairobi, where he meets a group of transgender
friends. The four comrades share what it’s like to grow up and live as trans and intersex
people in the face of prejudice and transphobia, disclosing painful secrets of their
struggles, sometimes with humor. Together they fight harsh discrimination and discover
life, love, and self-worth.
