Naman Ramachandran A new feature film chronicling the life of South African transgender icon Granny Lee is due to begin production in Johannesburg in April 2025.

The project, titled “Granny Lee,” participated at the Film London Production Finance Market during the ongoing BFI London Film Festival.

The titular character is based on a real-life figure who was both white-passing and trans femme and lit up the underground disco scene in the 1980s in South Africa.

Set against the backdrop of Apartheid-era Johannesburg and the HIV/AIDS epidemic, the film will follow Granny Lee as she guides a grieving mother through the city’s LGBTQ underground scene.
