[PETITE FILLE]

In Cannes’ Queer Palm award-winner Sébastien Lifshitz's (ADOLESCENTS, COME UNDONE, GOING SOUTH, WILD SIDE) powerful and poignant documentary, we meet seven-year-old Sasha, a girl from rural northeastern France who was born in a boy's body, but has always identified as female. Initially resistant and confused, her parents have come to embrace what Sasha has known all along — at age two, she told them she wanted to be a girl when she grew up — and so begins their journey together in an often-ignorant world. Shot over the course of a year, LITTLE GIRL is a profound, intimate, heartrending and ultimately hopeful portrait of Sasha's struggles to be recognized by her school, her peers and her community — and of her parents' commitment to ensuring she is accepted for exactly who she is. Winner, Best Documentary, 2020 Chicago International Film Festival; Winner, Best Film, 2020 Ghent International Film Festival. Official Selection, 2020 Berlin International Film Festival.
