ADAM’S APPLE is an intimate, collaborative documentary told through the dual perspectives of Adam, a transgender teen, and his mother, visual artist Amy Jenkins, in New Hampshire. Offering an authentic and tender counterpoint to the hostility facing trans youth today, Adam’s journey balances the milestones of gender transition with the rhythms of adolescence. As Adam asserts his identity and steps out into the world, his parents grapple with the challenges of raising a teen while also learning to let go. Through a visually poetic approach, the film transforms a deeply personal archive—collected over two decades—into a powerful, joyful testament to the beauty and difficulty of reckoning with profound change.
Director Amy Jenkins and Adam Jenkins are scheduled to attend.
