In 2010, whistleblower and intelligence analyst Chelsea (then Bradley) Manning was sentenced to 35-year imprisonment for passing on classified documents to WikiLeaks, which contained evidence of US war crimes in Iraq. Manning came out as a trans woman shortly after her conviction but remained incarcerated in a male prison. When President Obama commuted her sentence in 2017, her adventures were far from being over. A tale of survival and self-discovery that sits at the intriguing intersection of politics, media’s voracity, and LGBTQI rights. A cycle of gloom and hope that navigates through the scars of a fragile soul who struggles with a harrowing past.
