Was expecting a Documentary about the folklore and History of the Mermaid as indicated by the story line. Instead, we sit through people going over their OWN life and gender transformation trauma. There is a brief discussion of the Weeki Wachee and mermaids which was a nice Documentary type history but so brief. Even if they spent more time on the Mermaid Meet-Up would have helped. Seek elsewhere if you want to learn "anything" about the Mermaids origins, history or even see what goes into being a mermaid.

I have rated more than a thousand documentaries on IMDB. This is one of the most profound and beautiful ones.

It may seem simple at first but it really shows the genius of the American people (I am French, by the way),the freedom and desire to be oneself, but also the hardship of being oneself, accepting your imperfections and turn them into a strength. The power of dreams too, the dare to be different and be proud of it. The beauty of accepting others as they are too, and loving them for who they are, without judging, without belittling them.

This is the America that Trump hates, but this is the America that the world needs. Live your dreams, be happy, love each other. Being wealthy and famous won't make you happy, but a mermaid tail could. Find your own tail, and enjoy life!
