In the first part of the documentary series “Always Jane,” Jane Noury, a high school student in suburban New Jersey, hangs out with friends, contemplates college — maybe the School of Visual Arts? — and works at the local Panera.
She dreams of being a director. Near the end of Part 1, Jane also learns that she will have to miss commencement; it falls on the same day as her gender confirmation surgery.
There’s talk of anti-transgender bullying, but not a lot. In that episode, she also shops for a prom dress and plans a trip to Los Angeles, where she is to compete in an international competition for transgender models — the first of its kind. “I’m not saying it was all happy rainbows and everything,” Jane said in a recent video interview.
