"Coming Home" is a short film centered on Alex Showerman, a lifelong Vermonter and professional mountain biker who came out as a queer trans woman in 2020. The film explores Alex's journey of finding a sense of belonging in the unexpected world of women’s freeride and her complex relationship with the sport of mountain biking, viewed through the lens of current events surrounding the LGBTQ+ community and the fight for equality in women’s sports. The project also celebrates those who have supported Alex, including professional athletes Brooklyn Bell and Hannah Bergemann. The film culminates in showcasing what a community looks like when people set aside their differences and uplift each other, broadening the definition of who can call themselves a mountain biker.
