One of the most critically acclaimed documentaries of the year, The Secret of Me (directed by Grace Hughes-Hallett), has officially transitioned from the international film festival circuit to major television and streaming platforms. Produced by the award-winning team behind Three Identical Strangers, the film follows the harrowing true story of Jim Ambrose (formerly known as Kristi), who discovers at age 19 that his parents and doctors had hidden his intersex medical history from him his entire life.
