Levi: Becoming Himself
PR & Marketing Consultants
We worked alongside director, Shannon Kaplun during the launch of the CBC original documentary, Levi: Becoming Himself, on the free streaming service CBC Gem.
Levi: Becoming Himself is a documentary that explores the journey of identical Vietnamese twins, assigned as female at birth, and shortly after were adopted to white Canadian parents. At a tender age, one of the twins begins to navigate their gender identity and we witness the love story of a family pulling together to support Levi becoming himself.
We assisted the team with coordinating interviews, securing coverage, and supporting the documentary on all platforms.
