AN EVENING with actor & trans trailblazer LAVERNE COX

In TRANSCENDENT, four-time Emmy-nominated actress Laverne Cox shares her journey as a transgender woman in Hollywood, confronting childhood trauma, shame, gender identity, her transition, body image issues, her search for romantic love, deep-seated feelings of unworthiness, and ultimately, healing. Also a producer and an LGBTQ+ advocate best known for her role as Sophia Burset on "Orange Is the New Black," Cox became the first openly transgender person nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award. Cox has been a trailblazer for transgender representation in media, using her platform to advocate for trans rights and visibility. She made history again as the first transgender person to win a Daytime Emmy as an executive producer for "Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word." TRANSCENDENT shares stories of Cox suffering from childhood abuse to making her big break, dealing with Hollywood bureaucracy, feeling lonely in a world that is unaccepting, and finding her voice through the chaos of it all. With behind-the-scenes stories and personal reflection, Cox shows how she healed and learned to fight for equality.

Virtual viewing starts Sunday, June 19, 2026 and is available video-on-demand for five days after.
