Valentijn

Director: Hetty Niesch
Release Year: 2007

Synopsis:
"There’s quite a story behind 21-year-old transgender model Valentijn de Hingh. Discovered as an eight-year-old boy by Dutch filmmaker Hetty Niesch, de Hingh was filmed from then until seventeen in what was originally part of a small piece on transgender youth but which became a longer (nine year!) documentary when the director decided to focus solely on her growth and development."

"The film debuted on Dutch television in 2007. De Hingh, who had gender reassignment surgery just before the release, was very happy with its success and how well it portrayed the trials and decisions that transgender youth face."
