ADAM’S APPLE is a feature documentary in early production by Director Amy Jenkins with her teenage transgender son, Adam. Together they trace the transition of Adam from a pre-pubescent named Audrey to an evolving, charismatic young man named Adam in a resonant narrative that offers shared as well as contrasting perspectives.

As Adam, a vibrant 17-year-old, embarks on this much-anticipated physical transition to male, he and Jenkins document the struggles and triumphs of his emergence. With input from family, friends, and trans-male role models, Adam tells his own coming-of-age story as a trans-teen who is determining his path towards manhood. His story will be punctuated with monologues by older trans-males reading aloud their own teen journals in a performance-based manner, to bear witness to the experiences of transgender individuals from less supportive eras. Premiering in 2023, ADAM’S APPLE encourages understanding of and empathy for the transgender experience.
