Description

Indonesia is home to the world’s largest Muslim population. It is also home to a transgender community known as warias, biological men who live openly as women. Tales of the Waria follows four characters from this little-known community as they search for romance and companionship. Shot over three years with the local LGBTQ community serving as consultants and film crew, the film reveals a world that not only defies our expectations of gender and Islam, but also our endless capacity as human beings to search for love– whatever the consequences.
