MEMORIES OF REDWOODS

When Anna struggles with learning how to live as a young trans woman, she meets Chloe and finds a sense of community and support. After many memorable hikes together, Anna is devastated to learn that Chloe is moving away. As they go on one final hike among the redwoods, Anna struggles with saying goodbye to the friend who gave her the courage to live. Set against a backdrop of rising anti-trans legislation across the country, Memories of Redwoods is a quiet, emotionally intimate story about trans friendship, chosen family, and hope for the future.
