Just Kids is a documentary that follows three teens in states that restrict gender-affirming care. Over the course of a year, these families endure impossible challenges and show unparalleled strength as they endure attacks from their government—and communities. Civil rights experts and pioneers in the trans community contextualize this moment in history: these new laws are a thinly veiled political strategy that’s been used against different communities for decades.
This event features a pre-film musical performance by Azul Boliver and the pre-feature shorts A-Okay and Dragfox.
In a society where intimacy and romance are constantly everywhere, someone breaks from the mould after years of self-discovery. They send a letter to their past self full of their experiences and lessons learned, in the form of a short documentary. A-Okay brings attention to the hyper-sexualized and romanticized society we live in and how it’s expectations, stigmas, and stereotypes can be harmful to individuals on the aromantic and asexual spectrums.
In Dragfox, Sam’s search of identity gets interrupted by a mysterious neighbourhood fox. Together, they embark on a magical journey to the attic to discover the surprising things they might have in common, and how to celebrate the ways in which they differ.
