This documentary explores the world of transgender bodybuilding, tracking the path of four hopefuls as they prepare for the Trans FitCon competition in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
"Director T Cooper’s awesome documentary about transgender male bodybuilders finally comes to streaming this week. Man Made picked up the the Best Documentary award at Outfest 2018, and with good reason: it shines a light on the transmasculine struggle—a subject hereto almost totally untapped by cinema. Cooper follows several transgender men as they prepare for a bodybuilding tournament, each of them at various points in transition. Man Made puts masculinity—all masculinity—in new perspective as well as the transgender experience, fusing both with the excitement of a sports movie. That makes for an exhilarating—and fascinating—viewing experience." [Queerty]
