I am Isak

I am Isak is a documentary short about Isak, a young trans man living in Norway. From past to present, Isak's story explores the physical, emotional, and social implications of transitioning. It combines cultural context with firsthand storytelling to explore what it means to be trans: do you have to forget your past to become the gender you were meant to be? I am Isak delves deeply into one trans man's transition, while exploring the larger societal issues of transphobia, family isolation, and discrimination against trans people.
