United KingdomDescription
XX to XY is a documentary about Jake, who was born female but since his early childhood felt there had been a mistake: he was in fact a boy.
XX to XY is an intimate portrait using (interviews, music, animations) about Jake's courage to stand up against society, the medical system, and his own fears fighting to change his biological sex whatever the consequences, to become the man he has always known himself to be. The film was made where the understanding of trans is very different to our understanding of trans today.
CW: The meaning and language presented in the film's description and in this film, may seem out of date.
