Jordan has been filming from the epicenter of the Afghan conflict for over five years, during which time the Taliban retook control of the country. Transition follows the Australian as he navigates life as a trans man in the country, alongside Afghan filmmaker Teddy and Iranian photojournalist Kiana. A new job grants Jordan and Teddy unbridled access to a Taliban stronghold, but Jordan must negotiate the ethics and risks of developing genuine relationships with men who are responsible for restricting his freedom, while also keeping a part of his own identity a secret.
Presented at the Tribeca Film Festival.
