Diana takes place the day after the Princess of Wales’ death and follows Mohit, an Indian pre-op transsexual on an emotional journey set against the backdrop of a day that shocked a nation and will change his life forever. <br /> <br /> Rejected by his family in India and working as a prostitute in London to pay for his hormone therapy, Mohit’s past continues to scar his life and he strongly relates to the isolation and loneliness suffered by the Princess. It is this connection that binds Mohit so closely to this iconic figure and ultimately acts as a catalyst in helping Mohit set himself free. <br />  <br /> Winner of the Screen Academy Wales Best UK Short - Iris Prize 2009<br /> Winner of the Jury Award for Best Short Film -  Seattle Lesbian and Gay Film Festival 2009.
