Changing the Game

When I started to see this film, I did not know that it was a documentary, nor that its theme was discrimination against transgender people, I found myself seeing a problem that I was unaware of, and it made me think about all that we still need to learn, understand and to improve as human beings. I would like films like this to be presented in public schools in all countries in order to educate the future of the world, because I consider that like all cinematographic work its objective should be to transmit something: an emotion, an idea or a problem and Changing The Game achieves it. At least I feel that I have grown as a person.

As an avid watcher of documentaries, I found this one very well made and educational.

It was hard to watch, but powerful, the highlight on adults being promoters of hate and being bullies to kids, confirming that for many adults kids sports are not about the wellness of the kids, it's about feeding their own ego and thirst for winning

The fact that sports could make the difference between a kid attempting to kill themselves or live a healthy life should be enough argument to support transgender kids in sports. Instead of fighting for who should win a game or a match, it might be better to find common ground for these kids' sake.

I don't care about sports "fairness," & I don't prescribe to outdated gender normativity. Why bother separating athletics based on gender at all? Place individuals based on their qualifications. Is it not that simple? Regardless, thinking that dehumanizes people is inexcusable, & movies like this teach us to treat these teens with respect, care, & love. Maybe allowing children to make permanent changes to their bodies before their brains are fully developed is a gray area...being relentlessly kind to children isn't.

It does not even pretend to be unbiased. This movie presents only one side of the narrative for the majority of the movie. There are bits of the opposite argument, but never does it give them proper time nor does it answer any of the arguments presented.

Other than that there were no science-based explanations and nothing new is presented in this documentary. So, It wasn't very informative.

3 stars only cause the movie was shot well and it humanises the trans athletes and try to give a glimpse into their lives.

This movie brings out the sense of humanity behind a dehumanizing social aspect.

It brings the subject into first person. We don't listen about it from the news, or the media message, we see the actual subjects behind the matter. The do so in such a way that you can feel the being behind the matter.

Didn't give the 10 because I wish they would offer more the medical and mental aspects to the matter, but that is just a door left for other documentaries to be created.

Very moving. :)
