This highly personal film documents part of the journey that Chaz Bono takes to become a transgendered man. He is remarkably brave, strikingly honest and an extremely likable person who allows the cameras to record the crucial steps of taking the necessary hormones and then having the vital breast surgery and how all of this effects not only his partner Jenny, struggling with her own sobriety, but also his family. His mother gives a thoughtful and considered interview and is later seen being more supportive on David Letterman TV Show, but despite her carefully chosen resolute words, it is clear that Cher is really struggling with accepting her child’s life altering changes
