Nearly everyone who meets eight-year-old Noah agrees—he is a girl in a boy’s
body. What challenges, or even dangers, await Noah as he grows up in the
American heartland? This program explores the lives of those who do not conform
to rigid gender concepts and examines changes in brain science that are
shedding light on the gray areas between male and female. In moving and
courageous commentary, individuals in the U.S., Suriname, India, and Thailand
who have undergone gender transformation, or who have chosen same-sex partners,
share their experiences—revealing a wide array of cultural attitudes on this
eye-opening journey through psychology, biology, and sociology.
An HBO Production. 75 minutes.
