BEING MARCUS
LumoTV, Sky, Channel 4, Together TV: 22nd February 2019
Documentary: 1 x 28 minutes
Marcus loves swimming but is too self-conscious to take off his top in public. Will a mastectomy give him the body confidence needed to go for his first swim since he was a teenager? This observational documentary, which provides an honest insight into the experiences of a deaf trans man, follows self-proclaimed “proud geek” Marcus during the lead up to his much-anticipated operation. Along the way, we meet his friends and his mother, finding out more about Marcus and how he feels about his transition.
Produced and directed by Cathy Heffernan.
