About the Film:

An intimate, collaborative documentary told through the dual perspectives of Adam, a transgender teen, and his mother, visual artist Amy Jenkins, that offers an authentic and tender counterpoint to the hostility facing trans youth today. Adam’s journey balances the milestones of gender transition with the rhythms of adolescence. As Adam asserts his identity and steps out into the world, his parents grapple with the challenges of raising a teen while learning to let go. The film transforms a deeply personal archive, collected over two decades at their home in New Hampshire, into a powerful, joyful testament to the beauty and difficulty of reckoning with profound change.

About the Director:

Amy Jenkins is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores familial relationships, desire, and gender identity through film and visual art. Her work has been widely exhibited in museums and festivals around the world, and her films and installations have screened at and been recognized by venues like MoMA, Sundance, LEF Foundation, and the Robert Flaherty Fellowship.
