Lady Eva

Directed by Dean Hamer & Joe Wilson2017Tonga/USA11 mins

In the conservative Kingdom of Tonga, the last remaining monarchy in the Pacific, traditional culture clashes with modern religious zealotry. From the filmmakers of Kumu Hina (Frameline38), this short follows a fiercely determined young leiti as she sets off on a journey to become her true self—with a little inspiration from Tina Turner along the way.

'Lady Eva' is screening in:

Realness and Revelations

These stellar shorts beautifully center rich depictions of queer and trans folks of color. From roadtripping, to the quest for a boo thing, to speaking truth to power, these films bolster QTPOC folks holding it down with solidarity and real talk.
