Official trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9YB9TVazZ8 Official synopsis: Shot on location and set in Sri Lanka in the 1970s and 80s, FUNNY BOY, based on the book by Shyam Selvadurai, explores the awakening of sexual identity by a young boy named Arjie set against the backdrop of the civil war. As political tensions escalate to a boiling point between the minority Tamils and the majority Sinhalese, the boy comes of age in a society and family that refuses to embrace differences outside of societal norms. The film mirrors the oppression of the Tamil people with the marginalization Arjie suffers because of who he is and who he loves. Funny Boy chronicles a country torn apart by fear and abuse of power, while Arjie’s struggles to find balance and self-love despite the absence of empathy and understanding. Stay tuned for the world broadcast and streaming premiere of FUNNY BOY on December 4th on CBC TV and CBC Gem!
