Blue Boy Trial (18) + Q&A

Tokyo, 1965. Amid growing internationalisation after the Olympics, the government introduces new measures to reinforce public morals, particularly public prostitution by women. However, the so-called ?Blue Boys,? transgender women who work as prostitutes, cannot be prosecuted as they are legally registered as male.?Frustrated, authorities instead arrest Dr. Masao Akagi, who performs gender-affirming operations, accusing him of violating the Eugenic Protection Law. Sachi ? one of Dr. Akagi?s patients - is quietly planning her future with her fianc?. When Akagi?s defence attorney asks her to testify in court, Sachi confronts her past and identity before a society unwilling to see her for who she really is. Based on the real-life ?Blue Boy Incident,? this powerful film sheds light on a ground-breaking yet long-overlooked case that questioned the legality of gender-affirming surgery and what is means to find happiness.?
