Pardesan

Petra and her best friend pass a rainy afternoon by trading questions over pistachios. Until one question comes up that she doesn’t know if she can answer… This intimate documentary explores the day to day life of members of the Pakistan’s transgender Kwaja Sira community. The film highlights the discrimination and violence members of the community often face in order to live as their authentic selves but also the joy of queer community and how Kwaja Siras occupy space within Pakistan’s religious and cultural society.
