10's Across the Borders

Inspired by New York's black and Hispanic underground culture 'Ballroom', Sun, Teddy and Xyza create Ballroom—communities in Southeast Asia as safe havens against homophobia, transphobia and the stigma of HIV. We follow their journeys as they hold on to their families of choice, dream of bonding with the culture's American roots and together building a thriving community.
