BIND

BIND features the perspective of four gender non-conforming folks who share their own unique experiences with chest binding. Through their words we gain a deeper understanding as to why folks choose to bind. Binding is some people’s pathway towards getting a closer look into themselves. Mentally, physically, & socially.
