Austin Unbound

“The first documentary about a man who is deaf and trans”

Deafness may appear to be his disability, but that isn't what makes Austin self-conscious. This is a film at the intersection of Deaf and transgender. Burdened by female anatomy, he binds his chest every day. While his mother strives to accept his male identity, Austin's community views him as a pioneer. A natural comedian and romantic, Austin's courageous journey is shared in AUSTIN UNBOUND, which follows him through personal reflections, family interactions, and even into the operating room. AUSTIN UNBOUND, a deaf journey of transgender heroism breaks through barriers and tells a sensitive story with grace and heart.
