- **Event Description**: Three transgender women ignite a nationwide debate on identity and being queer in 1960s Japan in this fact-based dramaAbout this EventJapan | Drama | 2025 | 106 minutes In Japanese w/ English Subtitles Director: Kashou Iizuka  Screenwriters: Kashou Iizuka, Tsuneo Miura, Yuiko Kato  Starring: Miyu Nakagawa, Kou Maehara, Ryo Nishikido, Ataru Nakamura, Sexy Izumi Film Source: Nikkatsu 1965, Japan. The government passes a new anti-prostitution law that only applies to woman, thus creating a loophole for transgender female prostitutes, who are legally male and nicknamed “blue boys”. Out of frustration, the police arrest the doctor who performed gender-affirming surgeries on blue boys, resulting in a trial that sparks a national debate about authenticity and happiness.  Based on the incredible true court case, this empathetic fact-based drama reveals a key moment in history that shaped Japan’s attitude towards the LGBT community today. Made by a transgender director with a transgender cast, this powerfully acted film hopes that revisiting pains of the past can inspire people to change the future for the better.  IMPORTANT TICKET INFORMATIONAll ticket sales are final and non-refundable, so please double-check your plans before purchasing.Programs and schedules are subject to change.Stay in the loop with the latest screening updates by subscribing to our weekly newsletter at asianpopupcinema.org/subscribe.Doors open 30 minutes before showtime.
