Trailer drops for award-winning trans documentary, ‘OUR DAD, DANIELLE’

Award-winning trans documentary OUR DAD, DANIELLE, which is directed by S.E. King, will be available digitally and on video on demand from Friday, November 1.

The film follows Danielle Joy (DJ) Healey, a larger-than-life lawyer in Sugar Land, Texas, who at 57, came out as a trans woman and is now navigating LGBTQ+ issues while fighting for trans rights, as she and her family challenge the idea of what modern love looks like.

Starting in 2018, OUR DAD, DANIELLE follows four years of Danielle’s life as she faces the unexpected adventures of transitioning alongside her wife and kids who undergo their own transition: adjusting to a new name, pronouns and social fall out.

Over time, as the political landscape evolves and Danielle’s world expands, she integrates into the LGBTQ+ community, using her legal prowess to help fight for the rights of her trans and queer brothers, sisters, and siblings.
