Women are often expected culturally to absorb suffering quietly, to remain nurturing, to forgive, and to survive gracefully. This film rejects that expectation completely as it weaves a narrative that will appeal to audiences on many different levels

Juniper Blessing was only 19 years old when she was brutally murdered.

Stabbed 40 times.

Stabbed in her hands as she desperately tried to defend herself.

This was a hate crime.

Every person pushing anti trans rhetoric contributed to this.

Shame on all of them.
