Gender Derby

About This Movie

So, 'Gender Derby' is this documentary that really gets into the life of Jasmin, a transgender boy who's all about Roller Derby. It’s shot in this vertical format which gives it an intimate feel, almost like you’re right there with him. The pacing has this nice, almost reflective quality, letting you soak in his experiences without rushing. It tackles some pretty heavy themes around gender identity and societal expectations, but it does so with a genuine warmth. The practical effects? Well, it’s more about real life here, so it’s all raw and unfiltered. Jasmin's performances, both on and off the track, are really striking, showing a complex mix of vulnerability and strength. Definitely an interesting watch for anyone into documentaries that push the envelope.
