Documentary Filmmaker Mary Elizabeth Boylan has launched a crowdfunding campaignto complete her latest project, which is a film about the struggle for worldwide equality for the transgender community.

Boylan and the subjects of her film want to change not only how the how the transgender community sees themselves, but how society relates to them as well.

This is a profoundly personal project for me," shares Boylan. "I have watched one of my dearest friends lose her loved ones just for BECOMING her true self, but have met and shot the stories of so many amazing people who've have been through hell for trying to do the same. It is important for the world to learn we are all human beings, who deserve to be loved for who we truly are.

To share ones story among other individuals living in their authenticity is one of the ways of changing the world around us.

I'm so glad to be a part of BEing KINDred because trans lives need visibility. I'm so happy that I can show people who I am and how I live because so many people don't understand. I'm a human being just like anybody else.

This is about human rights. All I want is equality everywhere I go. I want the same opportunities for all the transgender community.
