The documentary follows Ferguson's journey to feel properly recognized by society: "Assigned male at birth, this filmmaker, activist, author and Ph.D. never felt like a boy or a girl and lost touch with their non-binary identity growing up living their life as a gay man for almost two decades," the film's website explains.
