Red Lights Blue Angels
In the outskirts of Bangladesh, where there is a prohibition on burying prostitutes in graves, a female photojournalist embarks alone on a mission to challenge a patriarchal religious community and secure a dignified funeral for a sex worker who had once been her photo story subject. As she uncovers lies and confronts deeply rooted prejudices, her quest for justice transforms into a personal fight, leaving her to stand alone against the world. While she may not succeed in fully restoring the dignity of the sex worker, she reclaims her own and her journey reveals how her own life is intricately connected with that of the deceased sex worker, transcending social class or background.
