Dixie Queen

Editorial Reviews
The life of a Southern drag queen isn't all wine and roses. Just ask Tara Nicole, the daring darling of Dixie Queen. In Tara's home town of Wilmington, North Carolina, stereotypes of Southern hospitality and redneck homophobia collide .
This is a portrait of a small-town farm boy who grew up to become one of North Carolina's biggest--in every sense of the word--drag queens. Through fabulous drag performances and interviews with family, friends, and fellow Southern drag queens like the Lady Bunny, Dixie Queen captures the poignancy and perils of gay life and culture in the South.
The film also features a visit to the family farm where Tara's father, a stoic, 74-year-old tobacco farmer, says simply, "I don't think she can help it, do you?"
Warning: This documentary contains graphic scenes not suitable for all viewers.
