A film by
Amy André
What's at the intersection of race, color,
gender, and family relationships? On the cusp of gender
transition from female to male, Logan Gutierrez-Mock,
a light-skinned person of mixed race, realizes he will
soon be passing not only as a man, but also as a white
man. He journeys to Mexico, the country of his grandfather's
birth, a place where his own mother has never been,
to search for connection with his family and his Chicano
heritage.
Through a candid interview at home and a visit
to a street fair in San Francisco's famous gay district,
the Castro neighborhood, Logan shares insights --
about acknowledging his white-skin privilege, challenging
assimilation, and affirming identity -- that he gained
from his travels.
