A documentary that transcends traditional biographical narratives, telling the story of American jazz pianist Billy Tipton. After his death in 1989, Tipton was revealed to have been assigned female at birth; this revelation was sensationalized by the media and misrepresented as the story of “a woman trying to live as a man.” This documentary, through test footage with trans male artists and expert interviews, aims to honor Tipton’s true identity and legacy. *No Ordinary Man* stands out as a groundbreaking film that celebrates a trans cultural icon and pushes the boundaries of genre.
