Synopsis by Violet LeVoit
Master documentarian Barbara Kopple (Harlan County, USA) turns her lens on YouTube personality Gigi Gorgeous, whose gradual transformation from high-energy preteen boy to makeup instructor to transgender model and activist was documented online for millions of followers. Interviews with her family and home-video footage round out the story of her decision to pursue gender reassignment after her mother's cancer diagnosis, and how an incident in Dubai cemented her commitment to trans rights.
