"Little Miss Westie has the power to remind everyone of the complexities of each person’s gender identity.
The film has already inspired viewers to think more deeply - and compassionately - about trans individuals.” |
“An incredibly relevant film after The New York Times article just exposed that the government wants to define gender as determined by their anatomy at birth eliminating all the protections afforded to the transgender people by the Obama administration.
You really see how these children flourish. It's a beautiful portrait of this group of humans that are in this family.” -Ruth Somalo, DOC NYC on NPR |
"This film will not only change lives...it will save them"
