The Queen of Ireland (2015) Synopsis

A documentary that follows drag queen Panti Bliss: part glamorous aunt, part Jessica Rabbit, she's a wittily incisive performer with charisma to burn who is widely regarded as one of the world's best drag queens. Created by Rory O'Neill, Panti is also an accidental activist and, in her own words, 'a court jester whose role is to say the un-sayable'. In recent years, Rory has become a figurehead for LGBT rights in Ireland, and since the 2014 scandal around Pantigate, his fight for equality and against homophobia has become recognised across the world.
