Thomas Beatie
Documentary in the Works

The story behind Thomas Beatie, a transgender man who gave birth to a girl on June 29, has been purchased by a British documentary production company, according to Variety.

Pregnant Man will be an hour-long documentary about Beatie and his wife, Nancy, who made headlines in April when he announced that he was pregnant with a girl. The documentary tells the story of Beatie's life, including his time as a Hawaiian beauty pageant contestant and his difficult childhood and adolescence as a transgender person.

September Films fought off rival bids from four other prospective companies, Variety reports. While distributors for the United States and Germany have not been confirmed, the documentary will air in the United Kingdom on Channel 4, and NBDtv/DCD Media is selling the international rights.
