Centrepiece Presentation: JUST KIDS

IN-PERSON ONLY!

In this powerful documentary, three families living in states that have banned gender affirming care face a heartbreaking choice: stay and risk their children’s health and safety, or leave everything behind to seek refuge elsewhere. Over the course of a year, we witness these families confront immense challenges and show remarkable resilience as they fight to protect their children’s lives.

Directed by documentarian and journalist Gianna Toboni, JUST KIDS amplifies the voices of trans community pioneers and civil rights experts, exposing the inhumane politicization of trans healthcare and the dire consequences on trans youth and their families. Drawing on evidence from America’s leading medical associations, the film underscores that gender-affirming care is life-saving care. The film shows the steadfast strength of the trans community and their allies in the face of an onslaught, and their refusal to give up the fight for justice and compassion.

Followed by a post-screening discussion on trans rights.
