Lena Dunham Calls Her Gender-Neutral Sister 'Coolest Person' She Knows (Video)

Lena Dunham is taking on gender politics with the new documentary “Suited.”

The “Girls” star-creator sat down with TheWrap as the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, to discuss the documentary that she produced about Brooklyn tailors pushing gender boundaries.

“My sister is the subject of the documentary and is someone who has always had a complex relationship with gender,” Dunham said. “She’s a gender-non-conforming person born in a woman’s body… She’s the coolest person I know.”
