"Deeply moving and humane.&nbsp;Born to Be&nbsp;distinguishes itself with its sensitive, humane portrait of the dedicated Dr. Ting, his hard-working staff (some of whom are transgender themselves), and his diverse patients who yearn merely to live in a body that reflects their inner identity."-- Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter Born to Be&nbsp;follows the work of Dr. Jess Ting (he/him) at the groundbreaking Mount Sinai Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery. There, for the first time ever in New York City, transgender and gender non-binary people have access to quality gender-affirming care. With extraordinary access, this remarkable documentary offers an intimate look at how one doctor’s work impacts the lives of his patients as well as how his journey from renowned plastic surgeon to pioneering gender-affirming specialist has led to his own transformation. Dr. Ting's patients are as diverse as the city itself.&nbsp;Cashmere&nbsp;(she/her), decades&nbsp;sober and with a zest for life, offers an invaluable queer history lesson as she looks back on the tumultuous existence she once led on the streets of New York.&nbsp;Jordan&nbsp;(they/them) is non-binary and, with their nurturing partner by their side, finally has the support they need to take the next step in their transition. The loquacious&nbsp;Garnet&nbsp;(she/her) moved to New York City to transition and has the full support of her family, but still struggles with depression.&nbsp;Shawn&nbsp;(he/him) signed up for a new type of gender-affirming surgery pioneered by Dr. Ting with the help of brave patients like him. And heart- and scene-stealer&nbsp;Mahogany&nbsp;(she/her) was once a successful male model, but sacrificed her career to begin life as the woman she is. Through their stories, their joys and hardships, the film addresses the nuances and complexities of gender, exploring key issues around the human right to define gender for&nbsp;oneself. - Best Documentary Feature – Nashville Film Festival- Official Selection – New York Film Festival, Hamptons Film Festival, Palm Springs Film Festival
