BREAK A LASH
A Tale of Rural Drag
Docuseries directed by Laina Barakat & Paulee Mekdeci, produced by Karlina Lyons, Laina Barakat,, Paulee Mekdeci
Line Producer Patrick Brown, Executive Producer Tonya Marshall
Meet Queens and Drag Royalty entertaining folk in VFWs and historic meeting halls from rural America. From the "big cities" of the flyover states, to remote fishing villages in Alaska and Maine, across this nation's earliest settlements, drag can be found in unexpected abundance.
Who is the audience? How does Drag emerge outside of major metropolitan areas? How does a sense of place influence their performance art? Following small-town career queens with commentary from RuPaul Drag Race and Dragula contenders, our cast of characters has a lot to share.
In a time where the legality of drag is threatened in 17 states, their voices are more important than ever. Featuring drag houses with 30+ years of performance under their belt, you might be surprised by what you find tucked back in the hills. Their stories are the lifeblood of Break a Lash.
