Enigma
The brilliant Zackary Drucker (The Stroll) directs this fascinating documentary which unpacks the legacies of “two titans of trans-feminine identity” who both took very different paths in life.

The other is Amanda Lear, a model, TV personality, and disco star, who has remained long skirted rumors about her own identity despite a life in the spotlight.
