Lily: A Transgender Story

Documentary filmed over five years. We follow Lily Jones as she transitions from male to female, leaves her seaside home for the city, undergoes gender reassignment surgery and finds love.

Filmed over five years, this is the story of Lily Jones and her transition from male to female – a journey which began when she was 15 and living with her farming family in mid-Wales.

Lily's life has been captured throughout, including this new chapter in which she is preparing for her next step, gender reassignment surgery, as well as making the big move of leaving behind her rural family home in Aberystwyth for a new life in Birmingham.

City life is just one change for Lily, who is loving her first job and has started a brand new relationship. Everything is thrown into chaos by the unexpected and sudden complications of the Covid-19 pandemic.
