Chicago Filmmakers, with the cooperation of Sundance Channel, is pleased to present a special sneak-peek feature-version of the new 8-part television series TransGeneration, produced by World of Wonder (The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Party Monster). Breaking ground as an honest portrait of the lives of four undergraduate transgender students, TransGeneration (2005, 83 mins.) directed by Jeremy Simmons, follows two FTM and two MTF transsexuals as they commit to transitioning all while trying to get through college and work out issues of identity, sexuality, and acceptance at their schools. Computer science-major Gabbie and pre-law Raci (MTF), as well as neurobiology major Lucas and political activist TJ (FTM), deal with family, friends, discrimination, and university policy. This insightful work highlights debates and current trends concerning trans issues such as unisex bathrooms, medical practice, housing, and admission to sports teams, presented in the context of the daily dramas and triumphs of these driven undergraduates.
