As "Becoming Chaz" — which arrives at the Hot Docs festival Friday — explains, the daughter of Sonny and Cher Bono disliked being on her parents' '70s variety show and in the spotlight because she was uncomfortable in her own skin.
But 2 1/2 years ago, when she began taking hormones to transition from a woman to a man, Bono sought out the cameras, asking filmmakers Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato to document the process and the intimate moments that accompany it.
