In a strict Muslim society, more and more young Iranian men are choosing to undergo sex change surgery. By following several of these non-mainstream citizens, this documentary offers audiences an alternative perspective of Iranian people and culture. Filmmaker Tanaz Eshaghian reveals that although homosexuality is forbidden in Iran, gender change operations are accepted and even supported by the government. The film will be followed by a panel discussion.

All films are free and open to the public
