Two experimental drag queens, whose love for one another is matched only by their ambition to be seen as dominant forces within the gritty drag culture of the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bushwick, create a drag festival in the summer of 2012. Follow them through two years of their lives as they contend with challenges, ranging from coming out to their families as drag queens to the sacrifices they must make to survive as fringe artists in a rapidly-gentrifying city.
Featuring commentary from Warhol superstar Penny Arcade and legendary drag queen Flawless Sabrina (stars of 1968s The Queen), many of the characters in this documentary are key figures in the Brooklyn and NYC queer community. This a story of survival, creativity and family looks at the very process of how queer culture can generate the economic forces that lead to its own displacement. This key question of our role in the city is particularly pertinent today.
