Our feature-length documentary, The Queens, is streaming NOW on Vimeo on Demand. Part Pose and Paris is Burning, part RuPaul’s Drag Race and part Miss America, The Queens follows beauty queen hopefuls as they pursue their dreams of becoming the next Miss Continental. The international pageant is considered to be the most prestigious (and sometimes most cut-throat) of its kind. The Queens takes viewers inside this little-known subculture of glamour and illusion that attracts thousands of competitors worldwide. Misunderstood or dismissed by some in mainstream society, the contestants are vying for the crown, but also for acceptance, validation and respect.
