Their story reminds us that when a family embraces authenticity, it becomes an act of revolution, one that reverberates across generations and borders.The evening begins with a community reception and dialogue in honor of Transgender Awareness Month, centering the voices and lived experiences of transgender women and people across the diaspora.

After the screening, join us for a panel conversation with the film’s director, crew, and trans panelist leaders as they discuss family, visibility, and the growing global movement for trans inclusion and dignity.We will then come together over South Indian delicacies, sharing food, warmth, and community in Amma’s nurturing spirit of care and connection.As the first trans-led South Asian organization rooted in the Hijrah and Kinnar heritage, ParivarBayArea proudly carries forward the cultural and spiritual lineage of gender-diverse communities of the Indian subcontinent.
