Born This Way: Awa's Story

Te Awarangi 'Awa' is an 18-year old, openly transgender teen from Wellington who is transitioning from male to female. She's also a year 13 student, a filmmaker and a daughter, sister and friend to many. In this SUNDAY documentary, Awa shows us - in unique and surprising ways - her own process of growing up transgender; the implications of being LGBTQI+ and her journey to acceptance and becoming her authentic self, both inside and out.
