I am confused about American in Transition AIT is used to identify individual film shorts in their series. These film shorts are longer and include episodes not in the "Digitized series" (see), available for streaming from Revry. The versions available in this catalog entry apparently are not available from Revry.
From their website:
"America in Transition (AIT) is a documentary web series and community engagement campaign that explores what social change really looks like from the perspective of trans people from marginalized communities.
"Director, André Pérez, founded the Trans Oral History Project seven years ago motivated by the isolation he felt growing up in a military family in Virginia. Join Pérez on his journey across the country to document real life for an two spirit educator, a suicidal veteran, a child battling their school and more.
"While 2015 was heralded as the “trans tipping point,” North Carolina just passed the most regressive civil rights legislation in 50 years. Trans people are fighting for our lives in a fragmented social landscape. Right now is a pivotal moment to educate the general public about non-white, non-urban trans experiences because the mainstream media leaves out the very voices that are most under attack. AIT episodes will encourage audiences to take action in support of and in solidarity with these communities.
