Born To Be follows the work of Dr. Jess Ting at the groundbreaking Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery in NYC where, for the first time, all transgender and non-binary people have access to quality healthcare and surgery.
With extraordinary access, this feature-length documentary takes an intimate look at how one doctor’s work impacts the lives of his patients as well as how his journey from renowned plastic surgeon to pioneering gender-affirming surgeon has led to his own transformation.
