Every Friday, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion will share a film recommendation that will support students, staff and faculty in enhancing their understanding of equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility.
Students, staff and faculty can access all films featured for free through the NC Libraries and Learning Commons.
To mark Transgender Awareness Week (Nov 13-19), this week’s feature film is I Am Skylar.
I Am Skylar is the emotionally compelling story of an articulate 14-year-old girl who is thoughtfully defining her future and the woman she is to become.
Surrounded by a family and a community who show her unconditional love as she follows her personal path, Skylar faces the complexities of being a transgender girl on the cusp of puberty with refreshing honesty and unshakeable dignity.
