Directed by Michael Barnett, the film takes us into the lives of three high school athletes—all at different stages of their athletic seasons, personal lives, and unique paths as transgender teens. Their stories span the U.S., from Sarah, a skier and teen policymaker in New Hampshire; to Andraya, a track star in Connecticut openly transitioning into her authentic self; to Mack Beggs, who made headlines last year when he became the Texas state champion in wrestling.
The screening is free and open to the public and will be followed by a panel discussion featuring coaches, experts on the subject, and local trans athletes.
