The Right to Joy

After surviving a rare cougar attack while cycling, Izzy Sederbaum overcame anxiety and anti-trans hate by rediscovering the joy of biking and promoting trans inclusion in the sport.

‘The Right To Joy’ was selected for the 2023 Tribeca and Banff Mountain Film Festivals, won a Silver Telly Award for Documentary Short Form Branded Content, and ‘Best of Festival’ at No Man's Land Film Festival in addition to touring to over 20 worldwide film festivals.
