An intimate and inspiring look at the journey of professional athlete Cal Calamia, a transgender marathon runner who is advocating for inclusion in the running world.
Synopsis
Out of the Dark: Cal Calamia is a short documentary that delves into Cal's journey, from their upbringing in a conservative suburb to his decision to come out as transmasculine and begin hormone therapy. It explores Cal's profound struggles with mental health, and how they ultimately found the support necessary to survive and eventually go on to dominate the nonbinary category in major marathons, as well as become an advocate for gender inclusivity in racing and transgender rights.
The first non-binary winner of both the Bay to Breakers and the San Francisco Marathon, Cal won the 2023 New York City Marathon in the non-binary division and was a top finisher at other major races, all the while boosting the visibility of trans and non-binary athletes.
