Man Made,” a Film About Transgender Bodybuilders, Upends the Traditional Documentary Gaze
By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
The film shows how exhibiting one’s strength, after years of privately embodied pain, can be freeing—even euphoric. Yet it resists the urge to craft stories of simple, complete transformation.
Rachel Lipstein writes on the film “Man Made,” directed by T Cooper, which documents the lives of four transgender men as they prepare for Trans FitCon, in Atlanta.
