Directed by Daniel Peddle • 2005 • United States
Starring Kisha Batista, Marquise Vilson, Octavio Sanders
Filmed over the course of five years, this bold, candid documentary follows the journeys of six masculine-presenting, genderqueer New Yorkers who defy labels in their quest to live authentically.
