Jheri Jones, a 74 year old transgender divorcee, and her family live in Bible Belt Mississippi. Reconciled after years of estrangement, and now living with two of her four sons in her trailer park home, Jheri embarks on a new path to reveal her true self to her grandchildren while her son Trevor begins a surprising journey of his own. A compelling documentary about an unorthodox family and the deeply complex personal bonds that make or break us.
Director
Moby Longinotto made his directing debut in 2000 with the tele-short 24 Hours. He has since gone on to make a variety of projects, including Make Me Proud (2002), Bad Boy (2004) and Smalltown Boy (2007). Of 2014 SFFS Documentary Film Fund-winner The Joneses, Longinotto says, "As soon as I met the Joneses five years ago, I was captivated by Jheri and her family and knew I wanted to get their story on film."
