THE ROGERS
An intimate glimpse of the first visible group of transgender men in the Pacific Islands - the Rogers of Samoa. From the loneliness of family rejection and homelessness to the camaraderie of church, cooking, and dance, their stories reveal the challenges and possibilities of life in an island society rooted in culture and tradition.
This 16 minute short documentary is a co-production of Qwaves with Pacific Islanders in Communications. View the film HERE.
