Transilience is an intensely personal and powerful film that features film writer, activist and educator Joelle Ruby Ryan. The film takes viewers on a journey into her life as a gender outlaw.

Raw and passionate, viewers see the persecution that Joelle has faced, as well as her complex political evolution and activist awakening. Joelle Ruby Ryan is a lecturer in the Women's Studies Program at UNH. Film is sponsored by Kidder Fund, Health Services and Women's Studies.
