Joyland (2022) is a Punjabi-language film featuring a trans main character. It received a standing ovation at Cannes & the Queer Palm award. It is also Pakistan’s submission to the Oscars. One week before release, it’s been banned in Pakistan—you can guess why. #ReleaseJoyland

This is Alina Khan, the beautiful Biba from Joyland. This is her struggle. This is what happens when you're intentionally blind to the miseries of the trans community. This is what happens when you dehumanize a trans person. It's time we break this cruel cycle. #ReleaseJoyland

These two elitist personalities who have nothing to their names except promoting hate, monetizing religion, shady finances, and privileged backgrounds will shit on Malala and organic artists who gave us some positive recognition globally?#ReleaseJoyland #BanMariaB #BanZiaulHaq

[Natasha Barlas @nsbarlas]

Misogyny, adultery, marriage abuse, literal violence and bloodshed, that’s all acceptable under Pakistan’s “social norms” and allowing a khawajasira to represent themselves is somehow against? God’s sake, do the right thing for once and #releasejoyland

Shameful that a Pakistani film made by 200 Pakistanis over 6 years that got standing ovations from Toronto to Cairo to Cannes is being hindered in its own country. Don’t take away this moment of pride and joy from our people! #ReleaseJoyland @MoIB_Official @GovtofPakistan

[sarwat gilani @sarwatgilani]

There’s a paid smear campaign doing rounds against #Joyland, a film that made history for Pakistani cinema, got passed by all censor boards but now authorities are caving into pressure from some malicious people who have not even seen the film. #ReleaseJoyland @MoIB_Official

4. Is it immoral to show Khwajasarra characters as humans with feelings & not as jokes or sex objects?
5. Who is setting “moral standards” for 220 million Pakistanis?
6. Will Jamaat-e-Islami with its 2 seats make decisions for all of us?
7. Where’s govt’s spine?

1. Why was the censor board’s approval of JOYLAND 17 August 2022 reversed a week before release?
2. Why were complaints by people who haven’t seen the film accepted?
3. Is violence in films approved by the censor in line with our “moral standards”?

Joyland needs to be released for a week before Nov 30 deadline for it to be eligible for Oscars this year. This is/was our best shot and the censor board is jeopardising it by listening to hypocrites who haven’t even seen the film.

There’s still time though: #ReleaseJoyland
