Latin Queens: Unfinished Stories of Our Lives

Latino drag queens fleeing persecution in South America struggle for survival in the gay community in Toronto. There is little legal protection for homosexuals in many Latin American countries. Several gays, transgendered persons, and drag queens featured in this documentary were subject to police brutality in their countries and have been granted refugee status in Canada on the basis of their sexual orientation.
