‘Transition,’ a Documentary About a Trans Man Who Embeds With the Taliban in Afghanistan, Premieres Trailer (EXCLUSIVE)
'Transition' follows Australian filmmaker Jordan Bryon, a trans man, as he embeds with a Taliban unit as they retake control of Afghanistan.
Academy Award-nominated documentary director Matthew Heineman (“Cartel Land”) is executive producing with Stuart Ford, Lourdes Diaz, Joel Zimmer, BJ Levin, Sebastian Hernandez, Juan Manuel Betancourt and Joedan Okun. Since being deported from Jordan for queer activism, Bryon has lived and worked in Afghanistan where he has co-directed diverse feature films including two-time BAFTA winning “Children of the Taliban” on Channel 4, and one episode of the “The Brave” series, which won an Emmy for short format daytime program. Villamizar continues to be a special correspondent for the PBS Newshour, and has covered conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, Mali, Congo DRC, Mexico, El Salvador and Haiti, at times filming directly on the front lines.
