Watch the Trans in Trumpland Docuseries Trailer
Trans in Trumpland is a four-part docuseries that was dreamed up by filmmaker Tony Zosherafatain the first week Donald Trump assumed the presidency in 2017. "The title just came to me out of nowhere; it just popped into my head randomly one day. I immediately thought to myself, 'I have to roll with this title and create this film.' Right after, I sat down and conceptualized the series," Zosherafatain told POPSUGAR. The director tapped his friend and collaborator Jamie DiNicola (the two run TransWave Films together out of New York), and they launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds, sharing their goal with followers and supporters: to document trans lives in some of the most conservative parts of the US, namely red states North Carolina, Texas, Mississippi, and Idaho.
