Eunuchs: India's Third Gender Synopsis
This extraordinary film explores the twilight world of India's eunuchs who both exploit and bewail their ill-defined status within society. The eunuchs introduce a special world, where for them divinity and daily life alternate in the flash of an exquisitely made-up eye. A 3,600-strong ancient sect who claim to be descended from the gods live in relative luxury. Other Indian men explain why they too underwent painful castration.
Eunuchs: India's Third Gender (1998) is a documentary film directed by Michael Yorke, released on September 26, 1998 with a runtime of 51m. It stars Aruna Har Prasad.
