A review by CountryFriedChocobo

Taking place on the island of Samoa, we learn about the transgender men, the fa'atama, or The Rogers. It's a short, but effective little documentary that will surely put a smile on your face. The Rogers are gearing up for the pageant show that takes place in Apia, Samoa each year, and this will be the first time they are representing themselves. It goes a little in to some members past and also talks about how the community treats transgender women and men a bit differently.

Highly recommend a watch!
