Netflix To Release ‘Growing Up Coy’ About Six Year-Old Who Began U.S National Transgender Bathroom Debate
Netflix will release the documentary, Growing Up Coy about the transgender six-year-old whose family fought for her right to use the girls’ bathroom in a landmark civil rights case that prompted a U.S nationwide debate.
Directed by Eric Juhola, the film will be released on January 6 via the streaming service.
“The film will be in 190 countries now, and I don’t think there’s any other distributor that could get it in front of that many eyes on the same day,” Juhola told Deadline. “We’re very excited. The whole point of making this film was to try to make a difference in trans rights and trans youth rights. One of the ways to do that is for people to actually see the film and get an understanding of the transgender experience.”
