Just Kids

Just Kids follows three families over the course of one pivotal year as bans on gender-affirming care sweep across the United States, forcing parents into an unthinkable position. In states where medical options disappear overnight, families must decide whether to remain in the communities they love, or uproot their lives to protect their transgender children’s health and well-being. With rare intimacy, director Gianna Toboni embeds with parents and children as laws change, pressure mounts, and the stakes grow increasingly urgent. Everyday moments like doctor visits, school routines and family conversations become acts of resistance as these families confront fear, uncertainty, and the emotional toll of living under scrutiny. Rather than focusing on political debate, Just Kids centers the human consequences of policy decisions, revealing how national legislation reshapes private lives. What emerges is a deeply personal portrait of love, resilience, and sacrifice, as families discover the lengths they will go to protect their children, and what it truly means to call a place home.
