Reframe Spotlight: 'She's a Boy I Knew'

Playing at film festivals all over the world, filmmaker Gwen Haworth turns her camera on her family for this down-to-earth grassroots documentary that follows her transition from male to female over the course of several years. She's a Boy I Knew is less a detailing of surgeries and more a meditation on family ties—a mapping of the transitions that take place within blood relationships, friendships and love over a time of great personal transformation. Through one-on-one interviews and animation, Haworth gives plenty of space for her mother, father, sisters, wife and best friend to tell their stories and share their reactions to the ongoing process of her transition.
