SYNOPSIS
MY CHILD documents a very courageous and inspiring group of mothers and fathers in Turkey, who are parents of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans-gender individuals. They have not only gone through the difficult process of accepting their children for who they are, but also have taken the next step to share their experiences with other LGBT families and the public. Seven parents intimately share their experiences with the viewer, as they redefine what it means to be parents, family and activists in a conservative, homophobic and trans-phobic society.
