Review Quotes:

“Leitis in Waiting is a thought provoking and compelling story that explores the decolonizing resistance of Tongan transwomen within a culture deeply affected by monarchy and organized religion. Elegant in style, Leitis in Waiting demonstrates beautiful cinematography that illustrates the battles of homophobia and transphobia. Leitis in Waiting is a must see for those who desire a film that shows the effects of culture change and highlights the impact of transformative justice.”

• Seattle Twist Film Festival Jury, awarding Leitis in Waiting Best Documentary 2018

“Leitis in Waiting displays a great respect for the culture and people of Tonga, while at the same time calls out the brutality and disgrace of the prejudice against the LGBT community that has a chokehold on society. This film is a true gift to the world.”

• Jeannette Paulson Hereniko, Network for the Promotion of Asian and Pacific Cinema
