Otherness Archive Note:

"This documentary follows two young trans men in Iran, showcasing the legal and social labyrinth they have to navigate. This is a very raw and real documentation of what it’s like to be a young trans man in Iran, under the oppressive laws that control bodies they consider as ‘female’ and therefore dangerous. Although they have supportive families, they still have to live in a country that does not allow them to show their hair, dress how they please or even freely swim in the sea like their cisgender counterparts. The latter being a common experience for many trans people around the world."
