In Pakistan, Transgender 'Hijras' Hide and Seek
In the spirit of LGBTQ Pride Month, LinkAsia's Rizky Rahadianto looks closer into the transgender community in the second largest Islamic nation in Asia, Pakistan, through an award winning film, Chuppan Chupai (Hide and Seek). This documentary, which is directed by Saad Khan and Saadat Munir, follows four transgenders and their joyous and painful lives under Pakistan's sharia laws. We had a chance to discuss this issue with the filmmaker Saad Khan.
