Barbette + Fontaine (15 min.) A century apart, two drag icons unite through art, resilience, and a shared legacy of self-expression and freedom. Leading the cast is Cynthia Lee Fontaine of RuPaul's Drag Race.
Canyon Chorus (17 min.) Set against the backdrop of Desolation Canyon, UT, Mikah Meyer, a world-record traveler and LGBTQ+ advocate, reflects with three close friends and his mentor, Larry Edwards, on their stories and the power of mentorship within the queer community.
Handwoven (9 min.) For 500 years, the Navajo have raised sheep as a way of life. In the early 1900s, the U.S. Government discovered 8 billion pounds of coal buried on ancestral lands; as a result, thousands of Navajo were killed and their flocks decimated. Nikyle Begay is a non-binary Navajo shepherd and weaver determined to preserve their way of life. Each day, they care for their livestock as they would a family. Through raising their herds - and weaving Navajo wool - Nikyle has gained spiritual and emotional nourishment.
One Story at a Time: Celeste Lecesne (11 min.) In the docu-short One Story at a Time, Celeste Lecesne candidly shares how he not only escaped the confines of homophobia but combatted it by finding the courage to share his truth with the world.
Stress (13 min.) In a time where we see queer men overcoming their mental health and self-acceptance, we rarely see the other side not highlighted in the media. Stress showcases the life of a queer individual struggling with his mental health and queer identity.
Remembering the Glade (7 min.) Legendary 80 year-old showgirl Brandy Lee recalls how the Glade, a Honolulu nightclub famous for its “Boys Will Be Girls” revue, became a place of community, refuge, and joy for mahu – individuals of dual male and female spirit – during a time of violent anti-trans discrimination.
