## Synopsis

Growing Up Coy is a 2016 documentary directed by Eric Juhola and produced by Still Point Pictures. The film documents a landmark 2013 case in which the Colorado Civil Rights Division ruled in favor of allowing transgender six-year-old Coy Mathis to use the girls' bathroom at her elementary school in Fountain, Colorado. The case has been credited with setting off a wave of bathroom bills across the United States in the years following. The film premiered in 2016 at the Human Rights Watch Film Festival and won "Best Documentary" awards at the Raindance Film Festival and BendFilm Festival. It was pitched at the 2014 edition of Sheffield Doc/Fest's MeetMarket. In January 2017, the film was released worldwide on Netflix.
