Transhood

Each month we present a film from the Madelyn Osur Film Library on the screen at Rocky Mountain Women’s Film office inside the Lincoln School. This month join us for Transhood, featured at the 2017 Festival. These screenings are free and open to the public with a suggested donation of $5.

Filmed over five years in Kansas City, Transhood chronicles the lives of four young people (aged 4, 7, 12, and 15 at the start of filming) and their families as they navigate growing up transgender in America’s heartland. By sharing personal realities of how gender expression is reshaping their lives, the film explores how these families struggle and stumble through parenting, and how the kids are challenged and transformed as they experience the complexity of their identities.
