Taman Lawang (lit. Lawang Park) is an Indonesian comedy-horror movie about transvestites in Lawang Park who are forced to prostitute to make ends meet. The film was released on 7 November 2013, starring Olga Syahputra and Nikita Mirzani.[1] The film was directed by Aditya Gumai with Asye Berti Saulina as its executive producer.[2]
Chand Kelvin was one of the actors who portrayed a transvestite in the movie. He wanted to show the other side of a transvestite: "It's a new experience, being a transvestite. However, that's just acting. Usually there is a judgment among the community that transvestites are scums of society. Only the movie 'Lawang Park' shows a different angle, namely how difficult it is to earn money. So I thought, transvestites should not be looked down upon".[3]
