Documentary
Charting the path of TransGreystones, a group created to support the trans community in Wicklow, the film delineates their emotional journey to create their first art exhibition. Heartening in its depiction of subjugating vulnerability and isolation, the film explores the ability of human beings to overcome adversity and break down barriers - universal themes which stir the consciousness of our trans family. Pursuing the notion that through viewing documentary, an audience can gain a deeper understanding of the trans and non-binary community, the film stimulates a deep connection and common ground, and encourages conversation around identity, authenticity and living your own truth.
