Summary:
Built around the lives of 15 founding members of the world's first transgender gospel choir, the film portrays the choir's dilemma-- how to reconcile their gender identity with the widespread belief that changing one's gender goes against the word of God. Filmed over three years, the film takes us from the Transcendence Gospel Choir's shaky beginnings, when the heartwarmingly chaotic, cacophonous group is unable to agree on much of anything, arguing over appropriate wardrobe and learning to sing with transitioning voices, through their transformation into a polished, award-winning choir and close-knit family.
