Apayauq
Apayauq is a documentary following the story of a young Alaskan woman named Apayauq Reitan, who in 2022 became the first openly transgender musher to compete in the Iditarod, a grueling dog sled race that covers more than 1,000 miles through the Alaskan wilderness. The film explores Apayauq's journey as a transgender person in a state where discrimination and prejudice against LGBTQ+ individuals are still prevalent. Watch ⇢
