Thy Will Be Done: A Transsexual Woman's Journey Through Family and Faith
Follows Sara Herwig, a male-to-female transsexual woman, in her journey to ordination in the Presbyterian Church, where conservative factions do not recognize her as female and challenge her fitness and eligibility to be a pastor. The film explores how alternative lifestyles and permanent choices of identity have the power to tear a family apart, only to bind it back together again, more closely but differently than before, highlighting the tension where gender, family relationships, and faith intersect within the Presbyterian Church and the broader religious community.
