Taboo: Sexuality
Description:
We are all defined by our gender, male or female, from the day we are born. In many cultures, crossing from one side to the other, even temporarily, is taboo. We plunge into the lives of people living in the gray area of sexuality. In Albania, we follow a group of "sworn virgins," women who have completely discarded their female identities and become men. In Thailand we follow a man who has chosen to change his sex through surgery. And in India we meet Mona, a representative of "the third sex," a eunuch who is shunned by society and yet provides sex advice to local housewives. By seeing the world through these characters' eyes, we challenge our traditional notions of sexuality
