CGiii Comment

A positive film about a complex subject...trans*kids, schools and bathrooms.

There are hundreds of films that highlight the issue...few investigate possible solutions.

But, in its favour, First Day has a refreshing quality...it does address the process that is needed to find a resolution...and, it all starts with a handshake!


Trailer...

The(ir) Blurb...

First Day, tells a story about the fears associated with the transition between primary school and high school - but in Hannah's case, the stakes are even higher: this year, she will be attending school for the first time as a girl.
