Coming to UK cinemas from the 13th November 2024. Explore the world of India’s Hijra community in this hopeful documentary full of laughter, drama, excitement, and pathos.
Filmed over the course of seven years, Welsh director Ila Mehrotra charts the extraordinary journey of Rudrani Chetri and her friends, who are part of Delhi’s transgender Hijra population. Whilst traditional Hindu society recognises the ancient Hijra identity as a legal ‘third sex’ – a community of holy hermaphrodites – this does not mean acceptance… the film offers a glimpse into unfamiliar places where relatable stories of love and loss, hope and poverty, beauty, glamour, and catwalk glory can be found.
To celebrate the UK release, we have created a Support Pack featuring exclusive video interviews with the director, editorial in partnership with Buzz Magazine, programming recommendations and assets, all of which exhibitors can share with audiences to promote the film’s Welsh connections.
