Our Family

About This Movie

‘Our Family’ is a compelling documentary that weaves together personal narratives from three generations of transgender women in Tamilnadu. The film blends excerpts from Pritham K. Chakravarthy's one-person performance, 'Nirvanam', which adds an interesting layer to the storytelling. You feel the emotional weight and resilience of Aasha, Seetha, and Dhana as they navigate their shared identity and the complexities of family through adoption. The pacing is quite contemplative, allowing moments of reflection that enhance the intimacy of their experiences. It’s raw, it’s real, and it challenges the viewer’s understanding of gender and familial bonds, set against the rich cultural backdrop of India. Definitely a distinctive piece in the documentary realm.
