About the Film

A 7-foot-tall fundamentalist Baptist minister, Markie Wenzel finally began living as female at age 46. It was a decision that ended her 20-year marriage, estranged her children, and exiled her from the church that defined her. Filmed over a decade, Matt Kliegman’s acclaimed documentary asks: When your loved ones won’t accept you for who you are, how can you accept yourself?
