Unraveling Michelle delves head-first into the gender-bending highs & lows of Joe O'Ferrell's male to female metamorphosis into Michelle Ann Farrell, seen through the eyes of Michelle herself and those who've been with her during the process. The documentary captures the range of reactions of those in Michelle's personal and professional lives as they get to re-know the person they had known for years. While the crew follows Michelle every step of the way, they regularly turn the cameras onto themselves to give their own raw, honest opinions on the transition and how it comes to affect their own lives. As months go by, the friendships and professional relationships between Michelle and her crew are eventually put to the test, as the documentary depicts the unfolding stories of those who grow closer to her along the way as well as those who can no longer handle Joe as Michelle. Unraveling Michelle is a film that's uplifting and inspiring to anyone who is - or knows someone who is - struggling to simply survive in their own skin.
