🎥Documentary Recommendation - Generation Activism 🎥





Generation Activism


Generation Activism is a four episode BBC documentary series in which activists film themselves in their lives campaigning for what they believe is important. In one of the episodes we follow trans non-binary activists Fox and Owl Fisher during a week in their lives as they campaign for transgender rights. This seven minute short film shows us the highs and lows, and the general effects of spending your life pushing for what you believe in. We see the pride Fox and Owl have, the hate they face and even get to see what their life is like when they're not campaigning. Fox and Owl are also the co-directors for My Genderation.

My Genderation

My Genderation is a film project that celebrates trans lives and trans experiences. The project was founded by Fox Fisher and Lewis Hancox after appearing on the mainstream documentary My Transsexual Summer that aired on Channel 4 in 2011. Feeling frustrated that their experiences weren’t portrayed authentically, they started to create films about the trans people around them.


They wanted to represent trans people authentically and without the voyeristic gaze of those that aren’t trans. This is the essence of what makes My Genderation unique – the fact that it is created entirely by trans people, about trans people, for everyone. It allows people to see more engaging, truthful and authentic representation of transgender people, and connect with them on a more human level.

Since then My Genderation has produced over 100 films, including My Trans Story for Channel 4 and New Genderation for the BBC and campaigns for Stonewall UK, I want Prep Now, CliniQ and more. Our award winning films are shown in film festivals across the world, and are widely used for educational purposes.
