Plot Synopsis

Hosted by transgender musician, artist, activist and life-coach Lucas Silveira and gender non-conforming influencer, activist and model Richie Shazam, SHINE TRUE is a half-hour docuseries that features transgender and non-binary young adults preparing for big life events. Gender expression can be challenging to navigate for trans and non-binary young adults.

In the series opener, non-binary artist Azul confronts generational trauma and finds the "punk mariachi" within before their big Chicago art show.
