Little Heros
A new millennium, a new era, a new world... yet, the old hatreds persist.
In the face of this animosity, Stephan (9), Nemis (9), Jason (11), and Bracken (11) emerge as brave young heroes, embracing their true selves. And standing beside them are their families, unwavering champions of their Drag Kids.
History will remember those who celebrate their colours, their individuality, their authenticity. Those who peddle hate and division, however, will be consigned to oblivion.
"Drag Kids" (2019), directed by Megan Wennberg, is a heartwarming and thought-provoking documentary that follows the lives of these four pre-teen drag performers as they navigate the complexities of their identities and passions in a world that often struggles to understand them. The film offers a glimpse into their lives, their dreams, and their unwavering determination to express themselves freely and creatively.
The children are a delight to watch, their personalities shining through their elaborate costumes and makeup. Stephan, with his flamboyant stage presence and infectious energy, is a natural-born performer. Nemis, a shy and introspective child, finds solace and empowerment in the world of drag. Jason, a budding activist, uses his platform to speak out against bullying and discrimination. And Bracken, a fierce and confident queen, challenges gender norms with every sashay and twirl.
The film also highlights the unwavering support of the children's families, who provide a safe and loving environment for them to explore their identities. Their parents, siblings, and extended family members are a testament to the power of unconditional love and acceptance.
"Drag Kids" is a celebration of individuality, creativity, and the courage to be oneself. It's a film that challenges societal norms and reminds us that there is no one right way to be a child, or a human being. It's a film that inspires hope and reminds us that even in the face of adversity, the human spirit can triumph.
