It’s about a depressed transgender woman who is trying to find her place in the world. When she is jolted by the idea of love, she must go on a journey of self-love.
I’ve been an activist for many years. While in varsity, I was pushing my movement called Rainboukidz, that was about LGBTIQ+ peer-to-peer education. The film is a fictional story that was inspired by Apryl Tshabalala, a friend I met through Rainboukidz.
