Directed by Ayesha Sood and produced by Tiger Baby, In-Transit traces the deeply personal journeys of nine trans and non-binary individuals from across India. Set against a diverse backdrop from small towns to metropolitan cities like Mumbai and Delhi, the series explores themes of identity, love, family and self-expression beyond rigid gender divides.
Each person featured in the series is at a different stage of their journey, collectively challenging long-standing social norms, while also taking an intimate look at the lived realities in a uniquely Indian context. Notably, In-Transit is the only Indian documentary nominated in this category, underscoring the growing global recognition of authentic Indian storytelling.
Commenting on the nomination, producer Zoya Akhtar said, “We are honored that In-Transit has been nominated by GLAAD. Congratulations to director Ayesha Sood and genuine gratitude to Amazon Prime for giving us the platform. It reaffirms our belief that Indian stories, when told authentically, will connect powerfully with audiences around the world.”
Creator Reema Kagti said, “In-Transit is a very special series for us. We are grateful to GLAAD for creating space for stories that are often overlooked, and for championing stories that celebrate identity, dignity, and truth.”
Director Ayesha Sood also expressed her gratitude, saying, “At a time when trans realities are more important than ever, we are privileged to be able to tell the stories of these 9 incredible characters. Their stories, while unique and special to them, are also universally important and resonant. I am so grateful to GLAAD for this nomination.”
Streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime Video, In-Transit reflects Tiger Baby’s continued focus on socially relevant narratives that center experiences while connecting with a global audience through honest and empathetic storytelling.
