Film Description
Rites of Passage is a documentary film project following a week in the life of Maya (Mohammad) Jafer, a Muslim 42-year old from India, who underwent sex reassignment surgery in Bangkok on February 10, 2011.
The film is currently in two parts. Part 1 (now a complete short film) documents everything up to Maya’s surgery. It has already debuted at the Los Angeles Transgender Film Festival, where it received Audience Choice - Best Short, and screened at the Williamsburg Independent Film Festival. Part 2 (in development) documents Maya’s difficult recovery process and reintegration into society.
