"The Queens" is now available for streaming rental and purchase at thereporters.org.
Misunderstood or dismissed by some in mainstream society, Tiffany, Gabby, Sunny and Naysha are beauty queen hopefuls who escape into a little-known subculture of glamour and illusion that attracts thousands worldwide. In the new documentary "The Queens," they're vying to win the most prestigious (and sometimes most cut-throat) international pageant of its kind: Miss Continental. It’s a quest for the crown, but also for acceptance, validation and respect.
Part "Pose" and "Paris is Burning," part "RuPaul’s Drag Race" and part Miss America, "The Queens" is also available for viewing in a premium streaming purchase package that includes raw, unedited interviews with Miss Continental pageant contestants backstage, highlights from the Miss Continental Plus pageant (for plus-sized contestants), a look at the new Baton Show Lounge in Chicago (where many Miss Continental winners perform), and a music video featuring "The Queens" original song, "Pretty Kitty."
