Welcome to the Trans FitCon Bodybuilding Competition, the only all-transgender bodybuilding contest in the world. This extraordinary documentary follows four brave and wonderful individuals as they prepare to compete at the event in Atlanta. They are from all across the nation (including Cleveland) and all walks of life. From homeless to married, from rich to poor, all are united in a single goal. Each is battling to craft a life and a body that walk in harmony. MAN MADE goes deep into the lives of these trans warriors, showing how spouses, partners, and parents deal with the issues of gender identity. No aspect of the physical or emotional trials and triumphs is hidden here. The film wraps you in its big, beautiful cinematic arms and holds you tight. For the participants at FitCon, competing is a transformational act of bravery. It is a profoundly moving and transformational experience for the viewer as well. Your muscles may not grow, but we guarantee you that your heart will. – C.R.
