I am Sheriff follows a young transman as they travel the mountain Kingdom of Lesotho showing their film in remote villages, schools and communities. Sheriff was born in a female’s body, but as the grandmother in the film recounts, Sheriff refused to wear dresses and always wanted to play with boys. “My name is Sheriff now”, Sheriff says, “if you want me to come home and visit my home village you have to learn to call me by name.” Through the film and personal narration, Sheriff talks to the audiences about gender identity and the frustration of being born with a different identity. The audience reacts with surprise and curiosity, but also offer remarkable warmth, love and acceptance that ultimately encourage Sheriff to make their choice.(Gender-neutral pronouns “they”, “them” and “their” are used because they do not associate a gender with the person being referred to.)
