Man Made, The Documentary

This episode kicks off our Trans Pride content here within Virtual Pride month. My guests for this episode are the director and two stars of the documentary Man Made, winner of the Best Documentary at the ATL Film Festival, OUTshine, Q Films Long Beach, Louisiana Film Fest and Translations Seattle. This is a film that follows the lives of four transgender men, at different stages of their lives and transitions, as they prepare to step on the stage at the only all-trans body building competition in the world. Filmmaker/Director T Cooper is the author of eight novels and a nonfiction book, as well as a journalist and television writer, currently serving as a writer and consulting producer on the NBC series "The Blacklist." He's also a professor of English and Creative Writing at Emory University in Atlanta. Dom and Mason are two lives that particularly touched me in the film, as their bravery to share their vulnerability and struggles, had me cheering in full on sobs for their wins by the end.
