Posted @withrepost • @firelight_media Beginning today, we're highlighting one Fellow each day from our new #DocumentaryLab cohort. Today's spotlight is on @nbhuman , an independent auteur filmmaker exploring socio-political themes as they play out on an interpersonal level. Their film 'Chiragu (Wing)' is about a young Muslim transman, Adam Harry, who dreams of becoming a commercial pilot. After escaping pernicious family persecution, he is armed with a Kerala government scholarship, a growing fanbase, and media presence. Will this be enough to help Adam defy bureaucratic discrimination and continue his training to become the first transgender commercial pilot of Indian origin? Learn more about Neelu and their project via the link in our bio @firelight_media 🌟
In solidarity with my protagonist and dear brother, Adam Harry @pilotadamharry on the frontlines of bureaucratic discrimination, I am thrilled to announce my work-in-progress feature length documentary film CHIRAGU (wing)’s poster (design by @forestallweather ) today! I have been collaborating with Adam, directing and producing CHIRAGU(wing) for the past 2.5 years with my incredible Kerala (DPs @fowziafathima , @prathish_91 ) and Johannesburg(DP @neopaulus ) based crew. Executive Produced by Marc Smolowitz at 13th Gen (@13thgenfilm ). Supported by @anderfinn at GLAAD (@glaad ), @thefawz , @andriarainewilson . Website, pitch trailer coming soon…

LOGLINE: Young Muslim transman Adam Harry seeks to fulfil his dream to become a Commercial Pilot with a scholarship from the progressive Kerala government, having already overcome pernicious family persecution. As his fanbase and media presence grows, he develops into a high profile activist. On the frontlines of Indian Aviation Authority’s bureaucratic discrimination, will Adam defy all odds to become the first transman Commercial Pilot of Indian origin?
