Pretty much a companion piece to the earlier, more allegorical Esme,
this documentary lets its protagonist, Esme Rose, formerly John H.
Shelton, horror blogger and occasional filmmaker, talk about the struggles
emmanating from his gender dysphoria, a condition she has only recently
come out with. What's so endearing about this film is not only
that its protagonist is very open and honest about the whole thing, but
also wants to put out a positive, even encouraging message - which is of
course quite a feat considering Esme's struggles were not always easy
ones. And if this has at all gotten you interested, feel free
to watch the movie here ...
