A close up of two white people wrestling. They wear head gear and sports tunics. The image feels dynamic and active.

Changing the Game

Changing the Game (Michael Barnett, 2019) follows the lives of three trans teen athletes in the USA. Sarah is a skier and activist policymaker; Andraya is a track star; and Mack is the Texas State Champion in wrestling. This documentary takes us into their personal lives and showcases the challenges faced by trans teens in sports.

It is an incredible exploration into intersectional identities in sports. In partnership with LEAP Sports Scotland and followed by an exploration of trans experience in sport, with special guests from local trans and non-binary sports groups.

All ticket holders are invited to join us for a drink at CCA after the screening.

This film will also be available to rent from SQIFF’s Vimeo on Demand channel 2 to 10 October.
