At a time when transgender communities around the world are largely ignored or misrepresented in the media, the 60-minute documentary video Tales of the Waria intimately explores how one such community confronts issues of love, family, and faith. Traveling to the world's most populated Muslim country, the film trains its lens on the waria, biological men who identify as woman, date "straight" men, and are a surprisingly visible presence in a culture normally associated with strict gender divides. Interweaving the stories of three waria who make extraordinary sacrifices for love, Tales of the Waria creates a moving and unexpected portrait of a community that dares to live differently from the norm, despite what tragic consequences may await them.
