Trans – I Got Life: Documentary with honest as well as personal insights from trans people.
Film plot and background
“The dissolution of gender roles is the next step in evolution.” This is exactly what the documentary “Trans – I Got Life” is about, showing trans people and their personal obstacles in life and society in an honest as well as touching way. Often trans people go through a great sense of brokenness, which not infrequently leads to self-destructive acts.
The documentary by Imogen Kimmel and Doris Metz portrays seven trans people from Germany, Europe and the world. What psychological, hormonal and surgical aspects determine their transition? Why does it feel to some as if they are experiencing a second birth in the operating theatre? And how entrenched is the trans identity spectrum in our society today?
The history of gender norms in the 21st century is no longer written in black and white, but taken up fluidly. Rarely before have trans people had their say as openly as in “Trans – I Got Life”.
From 23 September 2021, the documentary “Trans – I Got Life” will be released in German cinemas.
