Transgender political docu ‘Honorablé’ bags international awards

The documentary 'Honorablé' follows the political campaigns of two transgender women in the Philippines, Miel Agustin and Benjie Diones, as they run for public office. The film, directed by Rhadem Musawah and Francis Tanglao-Aguas, explores the challenges, strategies, and resilience required for transgender individuals seeking political representation in a society where visibility does not always equate to equality. It has received international acclaim, winning awards at several film festivals. The documentary features interviews with notable figures like former Bataan Representative Geraldine Roman and Dr. Danton Remoto, founder of the Ladlad Party, highlighting themes of LGBTQ+ rights and political inclusion. The film will premiere in Amsterdam and later in Latin America.
