List of FTM Documentaries

Becoming Chaz (2011) – IMDB
“A documentary following Chaz (formerly Chastity) Bono’s gender transition. Includes interviews with family members and friends while the transitioning is followed.”
Boy I Am (2006) – IMDB
“While female-to-male transgender visibility has recently exploded in this country, conversations about trans issues in the lesbian community often run into resistance from the many queer women who view transitioning as a “trend” or as an anti-feminist act that taps into male privilege. Boy I Am is a feature-length documentary that begins to break down that barrier and promote dialogue about trans issues through a look at the experiences of three young transitioning FTMs in New York City–Nicco, Norie and Keegan–as they go through major junctures in their transitions, as well as through the voices of lesbians, activists and theorists who raise and address the questions that many people have but few openly discuss.“

“Follow individuals who reject the confines of traditional gender identities and learn about the challenges and obstacles they face in the process. Ryan, formerly identifying as lesbian, now makes the choice to begin his transition from female to male.”
Gendernauts: A Journey Through Shifting (1999) – IMDB
“Monika Treut explores the worlds and thoughts of several trans-gendered individuals. As with Treuts first film, Jungfrauenmaschine, Gendernauts, enters a minority sector of San Fransisco culture. The individuals in this film are people whose (genetically) assigned gender does not match their social gender identity. The subject is pinpointed in the film independent of sexual orientation. Leave your conservative hats at the door, this is going to need your special attention.”
First Cut: The Boy Who Was Born As A Girl (2012)
“Sixteen-year-old Jon is your typical teenage boy in all respects except one – he was born a girl. Brought up as Natasha for 15 years, Jon can remember feeling male since he was only five years old. He has now been diagnosed with gender dysphoria, a condition that affects over 100 British children every year, and is embarking on an extraordinary journey of transition.”

“This documentary is set in the New Marilyn night club in Tokyo, Japan – where the hosts are transgender men. They can only make their living as hosts in a nightclub with other ‘wannabes’ like them. The young women who come there often have relationships with them but the underlying fear is whether such a relationship can withstand the pressures on a girl to get married and have children. All three boys deal with this in different ways. These three hosts, the Shinjuku Boys, take us into their lives.”
