PURPLE SKIES

82 min / 2015 / India / English, Hindi

Producer: PSBT

Co-Producer: Solaris Pictures

Rating: U (Unrestricted public exhibition)

Fighting against stereotypes, gender and sexual bias, rigid family values and a law that criminalizes homosexuality, LBT (lesbian, bisexual or trans) people in India face insurmountable challenges to live openly and with dignity. Purple Skies weaves together heartrending stories of LBT people victimized and subjugated by the law, the family and society, as well as hopeful stories of youngsters who have come out of the closet bravely. By placing it in context of the historic struggle of the LGBT community in India, and juxtaposing personal stories with critical analysis of issues by activists and advocates; the film offers a compelling inside view of Indian LBT lives.
