Grace

Can a Trans woman reimagine the world before her, without a fight for her rights, acceptance in the society and equal opportunity? Grace tells a story about a brave young Trans woman, seeking a dignified life for her and her community. This film explores the life of Grace Banu, a Dalit rights and Trans rights activist. Born and raised in Tuticorin district, Tamil Nadu, Grace faced discrimination at an early age. Her own family did not support her. Against all odds, she became the first transgender person to be admitted to an engineering college. She not only fought for the Trans community but also adopted young Transgenders as her daughter.
