Part PARIS IS BURNING, part RuPaul’s Drag Race, and part Miss America;
THE QUEENS is a feature-length documentary that explores the transgender
subculture of competitive female impersonation. When the lights dim and
the curtains part, gasps can be heard in the audience - because the
queens in THE QUEENS never fail to mesmerize. They’re gorgeous,
mysterious, complicated, and infinitely entertaining.
But the
secrets and the scandals inside the longest-running female impersonation
club in the nation, and behind the scenes of the most prestigious
transgender-centric beauty pageant in the nation, are equally
fascinating. The entertainers immersed in this community share the highs
and lows of their lives as they compete for the coveted crown.
