Film Screening (GLBTA)
7:00 PM – 9:00 PM
THH 114
To further explore traditional roles of trans-individuals in ancient cultures and how that translates to modernity, the GLBTA will be screening Bombay Eunuch. Bombay Eunuch is an intimate, moving portrait of one eunuch family¹s struggle to survive in today¹s changing India. Long revered as divinity, the eunuchs- or hijras, as they are known are now little more than relics in a rapidly modernizing world. Relegated to the fringes of society, their lives often plagued by poverty and hardship, the hijras are at once a powerful evocation of tradition and an inspiring parable about the human will to adapt. Through the voice of Meena, a 37 year old hijra and surrogate mother to a eunuch family of her own, Bombay Eunuch explores the challenges facing many in the eunuch community today, and offers a rare and insightful glimpse of the rewards that come with choosing to be true to oneself.
Friday and Saturday 11/21-11/22
