Film tip: Transition

Secret transformation

Australian journalist Jordan Bryon finds a home in Afghanistan, which he thinks is the ‘most beautiful country I have ever seen’. He works there as an international media correspondent and begins his gender transition there as well, a courageous decision, especially in Afghanistan.

During the Taliban’s tumultuous takeover, Bryon leads a double life. With each passing day, his fear of potentially being exposed grows. ‘Transition’ is an impressive and deeply personal portrait of a man fighting for his identity. It offers extraordinary insights into Afghanistan under Taliban rule.
