CGiii Comment

Perhaps...a cause for concern!

This is not drag. This is dressing up.

Transference - in all of its guises - is a very dangerous thing.


Watch... 

The(ir) Blurb...

The film follows the transformation of four drag artists with Down's syndrome as they prepare for a show in East London. Each performance highlights the unique character behind the artist. The film sees the artists tell a much bigger story about living life with love and achieving your dreams, while also allowing a group of marginalized people - LGBTQ, people with Down's syndrome - to speak for themselves and to showcase, proudly, who they are.
