DIVINE DIVAS
Divinas Divas
Synopsis
The Divine Divas are the icons of the first generation of Brazilian transvestite artists in the 1960’s. The film shows the intimacy, the talent and the stories of a generation that revolutionized the sexual behavior and defied the moral of a time.

Our take
The debut feature from actor-cum-director Leandra Leal offers a moving, candid portrait of a pioneering subculture of revolutionary Brazilian drag stars. Combining glittering live performances with archival footage and interviews, the film underscores the radical power of drag as social critique.
