Becoming Ourselves: Breaking the Binary
Runtime: 60 min. | Recommended Ages: 10+
These films explore identity beyond gender binaries, as queer kids shape their own ideas of who they are, finding possibilities of joy and community along the way. Discover powerful connections to the past when long-hidden histories are revealed in the Oscar-shortlisted Kapaemahu. Or break through distance and discomfort in The Name of the Son to find unexpected closeness to family. Create new relationships to yourself, your body, and others through sports in the short doc Joy Run.
