The historic story of whistleblower Chelsea Manning. Shot over two years and featuring exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes verité with Manning, the film picks up on the momentous day in May when she leaves prison and follows her through her journey of discovery.
Taken as a whole, it is a difficult personal narrative to try to digest and make clear sense of. Still, ‘XY Chelsea’ is an intimate look at a very complex identity who did what she thought was the right thing, despite the dire consequences.
