Airdate: First Day

ABC ME drama First Day, which centres around a 12 year old transgender girl, will premiere later this month.

Filmed in Adelaide, the 4-part series is from Writer / Director Julie Kalceff (Starting from Now) and builds on the stand-alone episode commissioned in 2017, which won the Diversity TV Excellence Award for Kids’ Programming at MIPCOM and the Gender Equity Prize at the prestigious Prix Jeunesse International.

The series stars Evie Macdonald as Hannah Bradford, a 12 year old transgender girl navigating her first terms of high school. She not only has to navigate the challenges that come with starting a new school, but find the courage to live as her most authentic self.

The stand-alone episode also won Best Children’s Series (Fiction) at Fan Chile, in addition to Best Screenplay and the Audience Award at the Mardi Gras Film Festival in Sydney.

4:30pm Monday March 30 on ABC ME.
