Just Kids is a documentary film that chronicles the experiences of three families that are being stretched to the limits by policies that view their children’s identities as something dangerous in a nation where access to gender-affirming care is turning into a battleground. When staying put is a threat to their children’s mental and physical health, moving becomes a lifeline and a heartbreak.

The documentary follows one year of chaos through the lens of parents who never expected to become activists and trans youth whose lives and happiness are at stake. Their narratives are not solely about resistance; they are about daily acts of courage of wanting a future. What is presented is a picture of families struggling with fear, love, and loss in a nation that is increasingly hostile to trans lives.
