Her Story

Directed by Sydney Freeland

Her Story is the critically acclaimed web series telling the story of two trans women in Los Angeles who have given up on love, when suddenly chance encounters give them hope. Violet is drawn to Allie, a reporter who approaches her for an interview, while career-driven Paige meets James, the first man she’s considered opening up to in years. Will they risk letting what they are stand in the way of being loved for who they are?

Trans women in the media have long been punchlines, killers, indications of urban grit, pathetic tragedies, and dangerous sirens. Rarely have they been complex characters who laugh, struggle, and grow, who share strength in sisterhood, who seek and find love. Her Story is endorsed by the likes of Laverne Cox (Orange is the New Black) & Eve Ensler (The Vagina Monologues) and depicts the unique, complicated, and very human women we see in queer communities, and explores how these women navigate the intersections of label identity and love.
