For the first time ever, a film has captured the triumphant and often painful journey between gender roles of college students facing the real world as they face their transgender lifestyles.

In this early look at an eight-episode documentary series to be seen on the Sundance Channel just days after Reel Pride,we are introduced to the four students who will be followed through the course of an academic year. Lucas is an FTM neurobiology senior at Smith College; Gabbie is an MTF computer science sophomore at the University of Colorado at Boulder; Raci from the Philippines is an MTF pre-law student at CSU Los Angeles; and TJ is an FTM political activist at Michigan State University.

TransGeneration dramatically unfolds as these four students balance the challenges of academia, campus life, and family with their commitment to gender reassignment (and the ensuing debates on everything from housing and sports teams to dorm bathrooms and medical services).
