ALL THOSE SENSATIONS IN MY BELLY

While transitioning, Matia struggles with finding a genuine, intimate relationship with a heterosexual man.

"When Waksman moved to Missoula, she wasn’t interested in telling the story of a Jewish woman, nor of digging into her own family’s historical trauma. Her fictionalized story was centered on a woman from the Northern Cheyenne Reservation.Yet, sharing her family’s story became a way to open doors. 'People were more willing to connect to me when I shared my history,'&nbsp;Waksman said."<a href="https://billingsgazette.com/news/local/filmed-in-montana-we-burn-like-this-takes-center-stage-at-mint-film-festival/article_34bec6a3-7c8f-512c-a717-b91018db1dfb.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">- Billings Gazette</a> When 22 year-old Rae, a descendant of Holocaust survivors, is targeted by Neo-Nazis in Billings, Montana, her ancestors' trauma becomes real. After hitting a low, she returns home to her mother and uncovers the truth about a childhood accident. As antisemitism continues to rise in the community, we follow Rae on her journey to forgive herself, her mother, and the broken world.&nbsp; Inspired by true events, this coming-of-age story shows the inherited effects of historical trauma and the strength of survival and healing.
