    Well-produced documentary on an insightful topic
    I'd never heard about the story of Billy Tipton until an out-of-town friend sent me a link for the limited theatrical release.

    Intrigued, I bought a ticket and went.

    The story was fascinating. The filmmakers did an excellent job of thoroughly and methodically researching the story while also making it interesting to watch. I appreciated that they included interviews with Billy Tipton's adult son. Having an immediate family member's perspective felt very important.

    And for an indie film, the production quality was superb.

    I'm not transgender so I appreciated getting more insight into a perspective and experience not my own. Thanks to the team for being willing to share this personal story with a wider audience!
