\"Joyland\"<\/p>\n

Joyland is a striking portrait of a transgender dancer in Pakistan that originally gained attention when it received the Cannes LGBTQ Palm prize for best LGBT, queer, or feminist-themed movie.<\/p>\n

It is a sexual revolution narrative about the youngest son in a patriarchal household who is expected to have a baby boy with his wife. Instead, he joins an exotic dance group and falls in love with the troupe’s director, a trans woman.<\/p>\n
