Local San Francisco drag queen Lady Camden was a contestant on Season 14 of Ru Paul’s Drag Race. A friend who is a documentary filmmaker followed her along the way. That chronologue is greatly augmented by considerable backstory on Lady Camden’s personal journey to becoming a drag queen, from childhood bullying in Camden, London, to dancing for the Royal Ballet, to landing in San Francisco.
In an interview, Lady Camden described this film as a love letter to her boyhood self, Rex, represented by a young actor reenacting various moments of childhood and then getting a glimpse of what he would one day become. The device adds a sweetness to the story and a depth beyond “behind the scenes” at RPDR. It’s a compelling portrait, well told and well edited to keep the audience’s attention throughout. Definitely a MUST SEE.
