AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
The many-headed behemoth that is RuPaul’s Drag Race has launched a thousand careers (slight exaggeration) but thrown just as many folks overboard. British-born, US-based Lady Camden – AKA Rex Wheeler – a veteran of season 14, is one of the survivors. This intimate documentary, the feature debut of director Luke Willis, follows his journey from the Royal Ballet in London to embracing drag, getting drafted then dealing with the hullabaloo that followed his time on the show, tackling head-on the emotional aftermath of the notorious ‘villain edit’ and a profoundly personal tragedy. But above all it’s a curtain-pull back on what it truly takes to become an indomitable performer.
