Join us to celebrate Pride Month with an assortment of critically acclaimed documentary film screenings, each followed by a facilitated discussion.
 

Second in the Pride Month miniseries is Transhood. This moving and thought-provoking, documentary follows four young people and their families as they navigate growing up transgender in America's heartland. Over the course of five years, the film explores how they struggle through parenting, and how the kids are challenged and transformed as they experience the complexity of their identities and redefine "coming of age.

Filmed over five years in Kansas City, this documentary follows four kids - beginning at ages 4, 7, 12, and 15 - as they redefine "coming of age." These kids and their families reveal intimate realities of how gender is re-shaping the family next door in a never-before-told chronicling of growing up transgender in the heartland. The film is a nuanced examination of how families tussle, transform, and sometimes find unexpected purpose in their identities as transgender families. Lighthearted and deeply moving, this story teaches us something new about being human.

Facilitated discussion will follow. Register with up to 1 guest. Refreshments will be served.
