Jamie New is a 16-year-old who doesn’t quite fit in. Instead of pursuing a traditional career, he dreams of becoming a drag queen. Uncertain about his future, Jamie knows one thing for sure — he’s going to be a sensation. Supported by his loving mother and amazing friends, Jamie overcomes discrimination and bullying to step out of the darkness — and into the spotlight. Based on the stage musical of the same name, which in turn was adapted from the BBC Three documentary Jamie: Drag Queen at 16.

Preceded by the locally produced and locally made short documentary film Sunflowerbebop by Wayra Arias

Three artists on a journey to becoming unique individuals, consider the presence of god and religion through their music making.
