"Wonderful...it is such a lesson in how parenting should be and how families should be. The message is great. It is about having a broad conversation on acceptance in general."

Uncle Bill is becoming a woman. This lighthearted and poignant documentary profiles three sisters, ages 6, 9 and 11, struggling to understand why and how their Uncle Bill is becoming a woman. These girls love their Uncle Bill, but will they feel the same way when he becomes their new Aunt Barbara? With just weeks until Bill's first visit as Barbara, the sisters navigate the complex territories of anatomy, sexuality, personality, gender and fashion. Their reactions are funny, touching, and distinctly different. This film offers a fresh perspective on a complex situation from a family that insists there are no dumb questions.

REVIEWS "An invaluable tool for diversity education & raising consciousness about transgender issues." "This unflinchingly honest and sometimes touching film offers insight about gender issues and the natural curiosity of children." "An excellent and important vehicle for helping to expand the realm of legitimate gender roles. Highly recommended." "Any public...and any academic library collection (especially a gender studies or social work collection) would be enriched." "An honest, revealing portrait of children at different developmental levels. Should be required viewing for any professional working with children and families around issues of gender, diversity and understanding."
