Gen_ is a 2025 documentary film directed by Gianluca Matarrese about transgender healthcare, including medical transition and the discrimination faced by transgender communities. The film follows several months in the life of Dr. Bini, a fertility and hormone specialist "whose job comes with navigating both his patient's personal lives, and the conservative legalese by which they're bound."[2][3][4]
The title of the film refers to the prefix related to terms that the film's lead character deals with in his work: genes, genitals, gender, genetics.[1]
Release
Gen_ had its world premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival in the World Documentary Competition.[1]
