History is never just the past—it lives in the people who preserve it, challenge it and insist on telling the truth.
A Bronx boxer and military veteran finds community in leather, redefining strength and masculinity on his own terms. The legacy of a freak parade accident reveals how Shelly’s Leg became one of the nation’s first openly gay spaces. As anti-trans legislation sweeps the country, trans and nonbinary hockey players create a new home—and solidarity—on the ice. A Japanese American immigrant, single mother and electrologist becomes a trusted source of gender-affirming care for generations of transgender women. And Black gay men living with HIV reclaim the South through storytelling, art and ancestral memory. Together, these five documentaries honor complicated histories and the power of living—and speaking—our truths.
Amidst sweeping anti-trans legislation, trans and nonbinary hockey players create a new home on the ice.
Team Trans is an all-trans hockey team with hundreds of players across the US and Canada. The Twin Cities chapter is one of the largest, drawing transplants from across the country fleeing anti-trans legislation in their home state.
QUIET ON THE ICE is an ensemble portrait of the team and the space they create together in a moment of turmoil for the trans community. It explores the bravery required to step back into a sport that, for many of the players, is loaded with past anxieties, ostracization, and violence.
Regardless of the political chaos that exists at the edges of the rink, for the players it’s always quiet on the ice. This is a place where trans people and our allies can come together to build strength and solidarity for the fights to come.
