This poignant film captures Alice’s journey through the challenges of identity, activism, and artistry, creating an intimate portrait of a woman dedicated to both her craft and her community.
Alice Denny’s path has not been a straightforward one. From a young age, she grappled with her identity, navigating the complexities of being transgender in a society that often marginalizes such narratives. In an interview with Monika Kowalska for her blog "Heroines of My Life," Alice speaks candidly about her early experiences, revealing the profound impact that societal expectations and personal struggles had on her self-acceptance. “I tend to speak from a personal point of view through poetry and hope it resonates with others,” she confides, recalling the moments of despair and confusion that shaped her youth.
