Just Charlie

Just Charlie from director Rebekah Fortune,  tells the story of a young soccer star who is struggling with his own identity. He is under a lot of pressure from his parents, particularly his father to be this amazing up and coming soccer star so he doesn't have to grow up and be just another factory worker like his dad. While Charlie has a deep love for the game, he struggles with loving himself. Deep down he doesn't feel like a boy and with every passing day, he identifies more and more with being a girl. When the pressures of everyday life finally get too much too bear Charlie must face coming out to his parents and to his small British town about who he really is and who he wants to be. As Charlie's transition begins we see the struggle not only with acceptance from family but from the entire town. Charlie just wants everyone to know that despite what you see on the outside, she is still Just Charlie.
