'State of Firsts' is a documentary premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival, chronicling Delaware Congresswoman Sarah McBride's historic campaign to become the first out transgender member of the U.S. House. Directed by Chase Joynt, the film explores themes of dignity and the complexities of visibility in a hostile political environment. McBride offers insight into the challenges she faces, stating that the journey to progress is often nonlinear. The documentary provides a deep dive into the intersection of personal identity and politics, shedding light on both triumphs and trials within the LGBTQ+ community.
What we need more of in our politics is grace... for those who are fearful in the shadows, and yes, those who are trying to navigate a very difficult world out in public.
Progress is not always linear. It's often two steps forward and one step back... At one point, everything we take for granted today felt impossible.
