Humorous, heartbreaking, and deeply human, this powerful documentary follows the lives of four transgendered children—ages 4, 7, 12, and 15—as they come of age in Kansas City over a period of five years. Looking at the nuanced ways in which typical childhood growing pains like puberty, dating, and school life are complicated as trans individuals, the film rewrites the narrative of the American family, carving space for the lives of trans children to share their story.
