Summary:

The film Bulu Mata, or Eyelashes (English translation) which is 60 minutes long, is the story about the life of Transgenders living in Aceh Indonesia, near the northern end of Sumatra. There are 10 indigenous ethnic groups in this region, the largest being the Acehnese people, accounting for approximately 80 to 90% of the region's population. Aceh is thought to have been the place where the spread of Islam in Indonesia began, and where the spread of Islam in South East Asia also originates. The Transgenders have their own personal hopes and dreams for a fulfilled and satisfying life. However, people in Aceh often label LGBT as criminals, mentally ill and prostitutes. This hour-long documentary is a conversation about the Transgenders living in Aceh, from their perspective.
