MAN MADE
DIRECTED, PRODUCED
& FILMED by
T COOPER
MAN MADE is a feature-length documentary tracing the varied lives of four transgender men, as they prepare to step on stage at the only all-trans bodybuilding competition in the world.
“MAN MADE upends the traditional documentary gaze… [and] resists the urge to turn the bodybuilders’ stories into narratives of simple, complete self-actualization; instead, it offers a testament to individual moments of joy—transformative in themselves.”
—The New Yorker
“Man Made offers a complex, nuanced view [of the trans experience], in a way that does a lot of heavy lifting for a small film.”
— CNN
“The Best LGBTQ Documentaries of 2018…Fascinating.”
