FLORIDA PREMIERE
Take a candid look into the heart of transgender male (FTM) culture, revealing unexpected truths about gender, masculinity, humanity and love. Four trans men (who, like the film's director, were born and raised female) take a variety of life paths toward stepping on stage at Trans FitCon, the only all-transgender bodybuilding competition in the world. Man Made is a character-driven, intimate, and riveting verité-style film, but also a unique social justice narrative. It speaks to the ways in which we all choose to define and reshape ourselves, both figuratively and literally.
