This absorbing set of documentary shorts runs the gamut from a Black, queer, and trans writer and artist from Texas, a DJ who has curated a recreation of the Stonewall jukebox from 1969, an aspiring costume designer who visits their island homeland of Guam to make costumes for a children’s theatre and reconnect with distanced parents, the resilience of a Michigan librarian and mother of a transgender child as she navigates the imminent closure of her community library amidst fervent book-banning efforts, an activist who inspired The Trevor Project, a small town that offers a community for trans women, and a lesbian couple inspired by a Time magazine cover
