Markie in Milwaukee

Director Matt Kliegman and star Markie Wenzel in attendance for 10/19 & 10/21 screenings!

Markie is a middle-aged trans woman living in Milwaukee and struggling to find acceptance in her family, her church, and herself. As she fights to hold onto those she loves, she begins to consider de-transitioning to be accepted back into her community. Shot over ten years, this honest and human doc shines an empathetic light on aging, the complexities of gender, and the journey of finding one’s path in the world.
