Reviews
“It’s a groundbreaking film.” Live With Lilia, Lilia Koss
“Each scene is a relatable human experience, making for a story of a trans reality fantastically accessible for the masses.”
The Facial Team, Marbella, Spain
“AN UNFORGETTABLE FILM. I have seen this film twice, and each time I was knocked out by Jamie’s hope, courage and pain.”
Jesse Kornbluth, HeadButler.com
“It’s an eye-opening story, told in real-time, which paints a moving portrait of the heartaches and joys that come with transitioning. It’s not only Jamie’s story, it’s the story of her family, who struggles with having to say goodbye to the man they thought they knew and to get to know the woman who is Jamie’s real identity.”
