Film Description:
In Jamaica—where legal protections for LGBTQ+ individuals are virtually non-existent and trans communities face profound risk—Jacqueline grapples with the impending transition to her female identity while mourning the loss of contact with her son, Michael. As hostility closes in around her, she is forced to confront what it means to live authentically in a society that denies her dignity, safety, and belonging.
