“For in me, I found my truth; and my truth came out as song.”

OUT LOUD chronicles the ups and downs of the first season of the Trans Chorus of Los Angeles—the largest group of transgender and gender non-conforming people anywhere in the world that comes together regularly to sing—and be heard. As the choristers gear up for their 2016 public concert debut, they share their amazing life stories and reveal what it means to be trans in America.

This extraordinary chorus makes more than music. It’s making history.
