SYNOPSIS

This award-winning short documentary traverses the off-the-wall psyche of Generation Z by way of visionary 3D artist, Scum Boy - a young South African, Jewish trans man living his life with illuminating fearlessness. Despite coming of age in a time of unprecedented environmental, economical, and technological collective anxiety, Gen Z appears to be responding by living more freely and unapologetically than the generations before them. In this vein, Scum Boy offers a remarkable level of self-expression and self-acceptance that brings much needed hope to a grim future.
