FREEDOM ON FIRE is non-profit short documentary film about Vietnamese transgender female. The film is in pre-production now and we need your support!

Synopsis:
Sam, a transgender female, left home at a very young age because of her family’s prejudice towards her. Since the day she left, she has been standing on her own two feet. Due to her being a student as well as a victim of social discrimination, she was rejected upon applying to the normal jobs she had found. It was then, she chose instead to work as a street-performer. Every night, she and a few fellow trans girls would perform in front of various restaurants, selling candy as they fire-danced for tips. The film “Freedom on fire”, reflects the trans woman’s inner-world as well as her surroundings that are both as lively and strong as fire.

(From the Director)
My Goals:
The goal of the film is to use the my visionary direction to produce a touching documentary about the true story of a transgender girl working as a fire-dancer. The film will convey the colorful world of trans people, presenting the audience their strong voices as individuals. I aim to reduce Vietnamese culture's prejudice towards women and the LGBT community. Thus, strengthening LGBT rights in Vietnam, in both the workplace and in other aspects of daily life.

My Objective:
My aim is to increase the popularity of public film screening events through social organization.
By attracting viewers through social media networks, we aim to raise public awareness of the LGBT community in Vietnam and the various social disadvantages that affect its members.
