One Giant Leap for Mankind [review]
One Giant Leap for Mankind
September 11, 2020 | By Courtney Gardner
I hope you will go out of your way to listen to Schofield’s story, anyone’s story for that matter, and allow for it to impact your life for the better. By opening yourself to someone else’s vulnerability, you will be able to reflect on your own. Schofield doesn’t paint himself in one color; instead, he shows that he is a good person, a bad person, a victim and a violator. But this is not just a trans story. You do not have to be trans to enjoy it or to participate in the interactive steps. I have genuinely yet to witness any media that has compared to this film. As Schofield proudly says after each step, “NEW STORY,” and transports to a different time in his life. May we all have the strength to share our stories, both new and old, as we think necessary, to further the media’s take on life.
