The Little Pageant That Could
2024
96 min
Overview
A documentary that chronicles the journey of L.A.’s “Best in Drag Show” to support the Alliance for Housing and Healing. The event, which started as a spur-of-the-moment spoof of Miss America thrown by a few twenty-something friends in a tiny West Hollywood apartment in 1990, grew to become L.A.’s longest-running drag benefit, including appearances by A-list actors, playing before thousands of people and grossing over $6 million to help those living with HIV/AIDS. With humor and heart, director John Carlos Frey takes us through an emotional journey of queer life and activism from the 90s to today.
