FLAVIA - Them (Official Music Video)Directed by: Basil Mironer

While it is important to highlight the very real epidemic of violence transgender people face, it is equally vital to uplift stories of trans joy and prosperity. Them, a new docuseries from Revry, a digital LGBTQ cable network, is doing just that.

Released this Friday, November 20, to coincide with the culmination of Transgender Awareness Week, Them is a three-part series featuring a diverse cast of all trans, gender non-conforming, and nonbinary people. The episodes were filmed behind the scenes of a music video for the song “Them” by Irish-Italian pop singer Flavia.

In a statement, Flavia recalled writing the song about a relationship she’d had with a transmasculine nonbinary person. When it came time to shoot a music video, she wanted to use her platform to highlight trans and nonbinary people living authentically and joyfully. With the new docuseries, Flavia and director-editor Basil Mironer, along with Revry, aim to further that work — and to educate cisgender people about what it’s really like to navigate the world as a trans or gender non-conforming person.
