El 14 de julio de 1970, en el sur del Bronx, los miembros de la organización revolucionaria puertorriqueña Young Lords tomaron el control del hospital Lincoln, conocido localmente como «la carnicería» por su atención deficiente e incluso letal y sus condiciones insalubres. Estos militantes, muchos de los cuales eran muy jóvenes, se atrincheraron dentro del establecimiento, exigiendo varias medidas para una atención sanitaria más segura y accesible para la comunidad del South Bronx.

Soon after New York state passed a 2015 law that health insurance should cover transgender-related care and services, director Tania Cypriano and producer Michelle Hayashi began bringing their cameras behind the scenes at New York’s Mount Sinai Hospital, where this remarkable documentary captures the emotional and physical journey of surgical transitioning. Lending equal narrative weight to the experiences of the center’s groundbreaking surgeon Dr. Jess Ting and those of his diverse group of patients, BORN TO BE perfectly balances compassionate personal storytelling and fly-on-the-wall vérité. It’s a film of astonishing access—most importantly into the lives, joys, and fears of the people at its center.
