Coming Soon: Things We Dare Not Do
In the small Mexican coastal village of El Roblito, 16-year-old Ñoño lives what seems to be an idyllic existence with his loving family. But he holds a secret. Defying gender norms, Ñoño works up the courage to tell his family he wants to live his life as a woman. Yet when violence interrupts a community celebration, he must face the reality of a country shrouded in machismo and transphobia. Things We Dare Not Do ([link removed]) broadcasts on Monday, October 25th at 10pm on PBS (check local listings ([link removed]) ) and streaming online at POV.org. ([link removed])
