I am the Queen documentary

I am the Queen documents the Cacique Pageant, the first annual transgender pageant held in Chicago’s Humboldt Park neighborhood. Follow Bianca, Julissa and Jolizza as they prep for the Cacique Pageant and negotiate being a teen and transgender in a predominantly Latino neighborhood of Chicago. The film exposes the restructuring of the family unit experienced by pageant participants who are often distanced from their biological family only to find kinship among others in the Puerto Rican transgender community. Screening includes Q&A with directors Josue Pellot and Henrique Cirne-Lima.
