Finding Home as an Intersex Asylum Seeker

Watch the trailer for She’s Not a Boy, the documentary about the journey of Tatenda Ngwaru, an intersex activist who fled Zimbabwe to seek asylum in the United States. Buoyed by the brave support of her loving parents, Ngwaru struggles to find partnership and a platform in New York City.
