Mini-Lesson for My Prairie Home (Ages 13+)

My Prairie Home is a documentary musical about transgender musician Rae Spoon and their coming of age journey. Through voiceover, interviews, music videos, and concert footage, Rae shares the story of their exploration of sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. Set in the Canadian Prairies, the film introduces viewers to Rae’s close allies, friends, and family members, and examines the impact of religion and the Prairie region on their life. Rae also discusses the challenges of growing up in their family of origin, coming out, and navigating the world as someone who does not conform to society’s gender expectations.
