Mookey’s Story: A Transgender Journey (Part 1)

(Part 1 of 2) Editor’s Note: A new generation of transgender youth is finding more societal acceptance and support than ever before. But hardships remain, particularly for young people from immigrant backgrounds. Carolyn Goossen, a content producer at New America Media and Daffodil Altan spent time with Mookey, a 24-year-old Chinese-American college student just beginning hormone treatment. Min Lee is an editor at YO! Youth Outlook Multimedia. This film is an official entry into The Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival VC FILMFEST 2007 — Southern California’s largest and most prestigious film festival of its kind.

Part 2 can be found here.
