Switch. A Community in Transition

Description

When someone changes his or her gender expression, who must make the greater adjustment - the transgendered individual, or the surrounding community? This program explores the impact of gender transition on friends, coworkers, and family members as they react to a loved one's "switch," and must now examine their attitudes about sex roles in mainstream society as well as in their personal lives. The primary focus is the experience of the film's producer during his transformation from female to male. Frank, heartfelt, and entertaining, Switch aims to open up dialogue and shed light on the continuum of gender identity.
