film synopsis
In November 2024, Delaware Representative Sarah McBride made history as the first elected transgender member of Congress. In the same national election, other politicians won their own races in part by scapegoating the very idea of trans visibility. With immersive on-the-fly access, director Chase Joynt peels back the headlines in real time while following McBride’s journey on and off the campaign trail—and into the halls of power in Washington, D.C. With tireless optimism, and under astonishing public pressure, she must learn to chart her own path through today’s political minefield in order to build a more perfect union.
