Andreja's story is a global one and has had a huge impact on youth around the world. From all over - North America, Asia, Russia, Europe, the Middle East, and South America, Andreja has received thousands of notes of support and love and thanks from kids and young adults who are finding strength in Andreja's message.
Her story has given so many the strength to be true to themselves and know they are not alone. And, in return, they have inspired us and given us the motivation to continue onwards through some of our most difficult times.
Our hope as we move through principal photography is to capture as many of their stories as possible. We truly believe the work and courage of the youth of this world, this new generation, will bring us all to a new level of understanding and acceptance. It's this beautiful wave already upon us and washing away long held and outdated beliefs.
While we were in Melbourne, we met and spoke with a number of incredible and diverse groups of people including Transgender Victoria and Minus18, Australia's largest youth-led organization for same-sex attracted and gender diverse young people. They made a small video of support for us. See above!
Thank you to the entire LGBTQI community of Melbourne. And to those we missed, we promise you, we will be back.
