My Mama, A Man is a short documentary about Julie Middleton and her desire to spend a day as a man. When Julie was a child she was desperate to be a boy, when she hit adolescence she felt she lost that boy inside of her. Now Julie is approaching her 60th birthday and she has made a list of 60 things she wants to do, and right near the top of that list is to be a man for a day.
