Jamie: Drag Queen at 16

This moving and uplifting documentary follows the emotional story of teenager Jamie Campbell, as he makes a bold step on his difficult journey into adulthood. Revealing and thought-provoking, this film shows Jamie battling prejudice from his community, and even within his own family, whilst pursuing what he feels is his destiny -- to become a drag queen.

Jamie plans to embrace who he really is by attending his end of school prom in drag, but he doesn't get the reaction he'd hoped for from both his school and, heart-breakingly, his own father. So Jamie has to make some difficult decisions.

@HausOfLibby This is, honestly, one of the most beautiful documentaries I've ever seen. Jamie is such an inspiration, and I choked up on more than one occasion watching this. What's also interesting to me is that he was worried about his peers not accepting him, but it turned out to be the older generation that was the most judgmental; using the argument that other kids would be offended and provoked as an excuse to camouflage their own prejudices - and THAT is truly disgusting behaviour.
