La Reina - Short Documentary
Synopsis
La Reina revolves around one subject - Edisson Medina a.k.a Paquita De La Torres, the second name being his drag persona. Edisson was born to Ecuadorian parents who moved to London, where he was raised. He is a part of the London queer Latinx community, performing in Exilio Latino Uk, one of the most famous queer Latinx clubs in London. The documentary shows him in and out of drag, performing and discussing what drag means to him, but also the discrimination he has faced for being queer and the prevalent lack of inclusion towards drag performers.
