Queen of Lahore - A documentary about Hijra community

Ashee Butt lives in the the red light district of Lahore, notoriously known as Diamond Market or Heera Mandi. She has faced many challenges in her life including being ostracised from her family for being a transgender woman. When socially excluded, the Hijra community as they age, are left at no one's mercy. It is the reason why, Ashee now wants to build a retirement home for the elderly transgender community.
