Synopsis
At a time when sociopolitical landscapes in constant flux appear to control the discourse on LGBTQ+ rights, this film tells the story of how the determination of one man changed the lives of the LGBTQ+ community in a city where they were often forced to live underground, their truth hidden from the world. Sunil Menon, one of India’s leading LGBTQ+ voices, takes us deep into the community in Chennai, India. The film offers a rare and honest insight into their lives, from a time when homosexuality was criminalised under the Indian constitution, to when constitutional change finally arrived as a welcome and long overdue reality. We meet members of the queer and transgender community who share with us what it took for them to transcend constitutional and societal obstacles, violence, and abuse, to affirm their right to live full lives as their authentic selves.
