Manjunath to Manjamma Chronicles of a Transgender
Synopsis
As a young Manjamma lay unconscious after a suicide attempt, she could not have imagined that one day she would receive a National Award from the President of India. A transgender folk artist who became the president of the Karnataka Folk Academy, her life’s journey has been nothing short of epic. As a young boy, Manjunath discovered that he felt more like a woman, which led to him being ostracised and mocked—the transformation into Manjamma, a performer of the Jogathi nritya.
