Shuling Yong filmed the “Chicago Love” episode of the documentary series Trans In America in Chicago, IL in late 2017.

About The Series
Three short verité documentaries about transgender civil rights in the United States reveal the daily impact of discrimination on three families as they battle with bathroom bills, vulnerability in employment and housing, and the aftermath of incarceration. Each film is directed by an LGBTQ+ filmmaker, produced by an inclusive and majority-LGBTQ+ production team, and informed by a panel of transgender advisors.
Presented by ACLU and Little By Little Films, released in partnership with Them.
