Filmmaker and gay activist Sridhar Rangayan embarks on a personal journey to expose the human rights violations faced by the LGBTQ community in India due to a draconian law Section 377 and homophobic social mores of a patriarchal society. BREAKING FREE, shot over 7 years, features real-life testimonies of gay and transgender persons who have been victimized or exploited, as well as interviews with prominent advocates and activists across India. See-sawing between despair and joy, anguish and hope, this National Award winning documentary feature is a path-breaking historical insider’s documentation of the Indian LGBTQ movement from invisibility to empowerment.
