Transition
Australian journalist and filmmaker, Jordan Bryon, gains incredible access to a Taliban unit during the fall of Afghanistan. The country’s transition coincides with his own physical transformation as a trans man. While he and his local videographer, Teddy, embed with the Taliban, Jordan conceals his physiology and is accepted as a man. However, if the Taliban were to find out his secret, he and Teddy would likely be in grave danger. Jordan struggles with the moral and ethical dilemmas that come with his unique situation. The film follows Jordan’s journey, as he paradoxically gains more freedom as he transitions, while deftly chronicling the increasing oppression of women as the Taliban transitions to power.
