| A Place of Our Own |
Laila and Rashni are two transwomen living in Bhopal, India. After being blamed for an incident where Laila is the victim, their new landlord evicts them, leaving them looking for housing, facing discrimination at almost every turn. There are a few rays of hope in the story, but also plenty of bleak realities, including the lack of recourse when they are treated unfairly. It’s not an easy story to watch, but it is the fiercely authentic story of the lives of some people who are no longer content to eke out an existence on the margins of society. For that reason, I give it a MUST SEE.
