Framing Agnes

Having accessed the case files from UCLA's early-'60s gender health study, documentarian Chase Joynt ("No Ordinary Man") strikingly employs trans performers to dramatize the interviews with six subjects-including the pseudonymous "Agnes," who used her participation to springboard access to gender-affirming healthcare-in the manner of a vintage TV talk show. Zackary Drucker, Silas Howard, Angelica Ross, Max Wolf Valerio, Jen Richards, Stephen Ira star. 75 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English; bonus short "Framing Agnes" (2019); theatrical trailer.
