Description

Jack and Yaya’s friendship rivals the closest of bonds. Neighbors since toddlerhood, they have a deep, supportive connection that ensures that they are never alone as they endure the many trials associated with being trans. These two created safe spaces for one another to grow and explore their identities before they could truly understand it for themselves. This documentary follows their path to discovery as well as that of their friends and family and is a reminder of the power of lifelong trans friendship. WINNER of both the Audience Award for Best Documentary and the Grand Jury Award at its World Premiere at qFLIX in Philadelphia!
