Synopsis by Maggie Sadler

Never-before-seen documentary footage explores the radical transition in gender politics in Japan, a nation whose social conditions are traditionally conservative. Candid interviews with leading voices in the Japanese LGBTQ+ community, including drag queen Vivienne Sato, transgender politician Aya Kamikawa, and manga artist Gengoroh Tagame open discussions of gender, identity, and social constructs. Written and directed by Graham Kolbeins.
