The New Royals: Drag Kings and Queens

AFAB drag queen Mariana Trench and drag king Roddy Jodphurs show us their Bristol drag scene

Bristol drag queen Mariana Trench and drag king Roddy Jodphurs share what drag means to them and talk about the importance of having non binary performers as part of the scene. For them drag beyond the binary is a fun and exciting place, where you can express yourself.

A film made by Lily Konteh, Asmaa Jama, Sumaya Hassan-Murphy and Elkie McCrimmon with support from us at Rife Magazine.

With thanks to Mariana Trench, Roddy Jodphurs, Them Fatales, Smoke and Mirrors and the Tobacco Factory.

Music: Song Division Mix by Eileen Simpson and Ben White, Streetlife Silentfilm by Lobo Loco and New York Jazz by Fool Boy Media.
