“Cape Town has a vibrant drag tradition that dates back to the ’30s, especially in the diverse District Six community. The Queens of Cape Town explores the world of drag queen beauty pageants, looking beyond the glitz and glamour of stilettos, glitter and tiaras to highlight the importance of safe spaces where queer bodies are celebrated. The series explores the universal narrative of gender identity within a South African context, highlighting its background as a key player in the fight for human rights globally.”
