What Am I?

About This Movie

What Am I? is a documentary that dives deep into the lives of individuals grappling with gender identity long before the legal landscape shifted in the UK. The film has this raw, honest vibe, capturing the struggles and realities of those seeking to transition in a world that largely misunderstood them. The pacing is reflective, allowing for moments of real emotional resonance. It feels like a window into a time when these conversations were much less common, making it distinct in the realm of LGBTQ+ documentaries. The interviews are candid, often heart-wrenching, showcasing the human side of a complex issue. It’s not flashy, but there’s a certain grit that makes it memorable in its own quiet way.
