To know musician Beverly Glenn-Copeland is to love him— and you’re about to fall in love. After three decades of releasing album after album in relative obscurity, a Japanese record collector rediscovers and reissues Copeland’s melodic electronic music to great success. Now Copeland must embark on a tour -- at the age of 74. Guiding us from his childhood in a Black Quaker home in Philadelphia to the launch of his music career, filmmaker Posy Dixon employs an experimental and lyrical style to this engaging character portrait of a transgender trailblazer who teaches us it’s never too late to become who you’re meant to be. -Angela Tucker
