Jack & Yaya

Bagley and Hewey get more right than wrong in their rendering of this touching true story.

Transgender people often feel alone, afraid to live life as ourselves. Jack & Yaya is a touching narrative that celebrates the vital relationships we make across our journeys.

This is the America that I want to be a part of.

Exploring a friendship as it celebrates 30 years, this warm documentary takes a deeply personal approach, allowing people to be themselves as they speak and interact.

Perhaps this unassuming, pleasant movie is just the kind of thing that people who are horrified over restroom labeling need to learn that transgender folks are just like anyone else.

Very much the type of film 2020 needs at this moment

An upbeat portrait of best friends propping each other up, urging acceptance on each other's families and ensuring that even as they transition, the road to "it gets better" is a short one.
