Jacob was commissioned to make a 58 minute documentary film on Buddhism and the Androgynous so he decided to center it around some beauty contests in Thailand -

Following the biggest hermaphrodite happening in the world, Thailand's Miss Tiffany Beauty Pageant. Rose, White and Tanya battle it out to become Thailand's most beautiful kathoey in front of ten million television viewers

Taking the crown, Tanya returns to Sydney Australia, where she is forging a new life away from her strict father who is a major in the Royal Thai Army. Tanya then travels to Los Angeles USA where she wins the Miss Universe Hermaphrodite Pageant to become the most beautiful Hermaphrodite in the world. Inter-cut within the film is Dr Preecha, world pioneer in reassignment surgery performing colon transposition for vagina, and Stephen Batchelor discussing the illuminating exploration of what Buddhism refers to as Yab Yum or 'both both,' the Buddhist belief that the supreme entity is non-dualistic thus forging the androgynous psychology of Thailand's contemporary Buddhist society. With unprecedented access to the unseen before three top Thai cabarets shows the film also uncovers the extraordinary hermaphrodite cabaret world where identical twin boys Hong and Yu have followed each other into the hermaphrodite sex and we meet more identical twin hermaphrodites Jep and Jane who speak about the fluid psychology Buddhism has forged in Thailand, the land of the free. A film exploring the fixed ideas of monotheism, non duality and the flux which interconnects us to the great mystery.
