I remember studying Grierson at college, hailed as a father of documentary film - his sisters were never even mentioned. Glad they are finally being recognised.

When the Andersons fled #Iowa City in 2022, they joined a growing group of #American #families escaping states that have become hostile for #transgender #communities. Where do they go from here?
"We will never be able to defend the rights of transgender kids until we understand them purely on their own terms: as full members of society who would like to change their sex. It does not matter where this desire comes from."
