Becoming Chaz
Growing up as Sonny and Cher's adorable golden-haired daughter in a body he felt wasn't his own was a burden it took Chaz Bono years to transcend. BECOMING CHAZ invites us along on Chaz's brave and remarkable journey of transformation. As hormone shots give way to top surgery, easy going and unflappable Chaz beams with a sense of liberation and goes public with his story, putting a very public face on a widely misunderstood issue. But with his gregarious girlfriend struggling with the new realities of living with a man, it's made clear that sex change isn't solely a physical transition.
