Ben, a young trans man in his 20s, hasn’t seen his dad for seven years - Not since he came out as trans and left home as a teenager. When they meet again, Ben has moved on to create a life and community for himself, while his dad is still scared to let go of the daughter he thought he had, and embrace the son he has now. Through their conversations, old wounds are brought to the surface, difficult truths are disclosed, and both father and son take steps down the path of healing.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
