My partner showed me a post titled, A Flash of Lightning: Bijli on the blog Racialicious about a short film called “Bijli.”
“Bijli” is a 15-minute long, international film about a Muslim pakistani who moved to Manhattan, New York.
Furthermore, this film is about a person who passes as “Fayaaz”, a man, during the day, and dances as “Bijli” in drag, to Bollywood songs at night.
Fayaaz has fond memories of his deceased parents, but has a bittersweet relationship with his faith, and the Mosque.
