Cannes and César award-winning director Sebastian Lifshitz (WILD SIDE, ADOLESCENTS) brings a sensitive eye to the story of little Sasha, a seven-year-old trans girl who has always known she was a girl. Her family embraces her identity, but they face enormous obstacles for acceptance and support in their rural town. An intimate and emotional journey with a sincere and loving cast of characters, LITTLE GIRL is an unforgettable film about a trans childhood.

“[An] exceptional portrait of a radiant family supporting their daughter and the painful sacrifices they make along the way … We hope this honor will bring attention to this film as a perfect example of what advocacy should look like as we confront institutional battles–at school and within communities–to support queer youth.”– Austin’s All Genders, Lifestyles, and Identities Film Festival/PRISM, jury award-winner
