The feature length documentary TransMilitary premiered at South by Southwest (SXSW) 2018 and won the Best Feature Documentary Audience Award. Following a string of festival awards, TransMilitary made its TV debut on Logo in November 2018 and is now available to stream on a variety of platforms.

Watch the trailer here:

TransMilitary chronicles the lives of four individuals (Senior Airman Logan Ireland, Corporal Laila Villanueva, Captain Jennifer Peace and First Lieutenant El Cook) defending their country’s freedom while fighting for their own. They put their careers and their families’ livelihoods on the line by coming out as transgender to top brass officials in the Pentagon in hopes of attaining the equal right to serve. The ban was lifted in 2016, but with President Trump now trying to reinstate it, their futures hang in the balance again.

Around 15,500 transgender people serve in the U.S. military (notably the largest transgender employer in the U.S.), where they must conceal their gender identity because military policies ban their service.

TransMilitary follows the previous Emmy-nominated short film Transgender, at War and in Love.

TransMilitary is the feature length documentary by filmmaking team Gabriel Silverman and Jamie Coughlin of SideXSide Studios and Fiona Dawson of Free Lion Productions.
