ABOUT THE DOCUMENTARY - TRANSCONTINENTALRUN:
During the most aggressively anti-trans year on record, transgender endurance athlete Cal Dobbs (he/they) became the first trans person to run across America as a platform to fight for the inclusion of transgender people in sports and access to gender affirming healthcare. Along the way Cal and his team raised nearly $100,000 for grassroots lgbtq groups and captured on film hundreds of trans people fighting for their lives, while finding community, and courageously resisting legislation that seeks to eradicate them in rural anti-trans towns across the Southwest and South. Their stories need to be heard.
Help us bring their stories to the public through a groundbreaking documentary that follows Cal's journey through these dangerous places housing brilliant trans communities of love and resilience.
