Synopsis

If the world doesn’t accept you and your kind, trailblaze a world that does. Inspired by the Black and Latinx underground Ballroom culture of New York, Sun, Teddy, and Xyza create Ballroom communities in Southeast Asia as safe havens from homophobia, transphobia, color discrimination and HIV stigma. Sun integrates Ballroom into his creative language as  a performance artist, while Teddy and Xyza journey to Ballroom’s source in New York City, meeting the icons and pioneers who are their parents from afar.
