As a trans man and filmmaker deeply embedded in Afghanistan's conflict, Jordan Bryon faces an ethical dilemma when granted unparalleled access to the Taliban. For over half a decade, Jordan has documented the Afghan turmoil, witnessing the Taliban's resurgence firsthand. TRANSITION chronicles Jordan's journey as a trans man in Afghanistan, working closely with Afghan filmmaker Teddy and Iranian photojournalist Kiana. While a unique opportunity allows Jordan and Teddy intimate insights into a Taliban stronghold, Jordan grapples with the moral complexities of forging authentic bonds with those curtailing many freedoms, all while concealing aspects of his identity. The narrative offers a riveting exploration of preserving personal integrity amid life-threatening circumstances.
