About the Film
Love, faith and civil rights collide in a southern town as evangelical Christians and drag queens step into the spotlight to dismantle stereotypes.
The film takes a personal, and often comical look at negotiating differences between religion and belief through performance, political action, and partnership. Gospel drag shows and passion plays set the stage for one hell of a show.
Narrated by Mx Justin Vivian Bond.
“When the disco ball and the Star of Bethlehem are both signs of the divine… it’s hard not to respond with hope.” – ArtForum
“Eschewing easy demonization of any particular person or group, the filmmakers instead construct a free-moving look at faith, love, and principles.” – What (Not) to Doc
Official Selection of the 2018 SXSW Film Festival, Sheffield Doc/Fest, BAM CinemaFest, and AFI Docs.

About the Film
He was baptized as Eduardo, but he never felt this name as his own, vagabond, paratrooper, go-getter, poetry lover, dreamer, Jean Genet-esque character… but most of all, artist: in fact, probably the last quick-change artist in the almost extinct Red-light district of Barcelona “el Chino”.
A born survivor, he has taken hard blows from life and overcome them all, especially like the unrequited devotion of his only true love: Margarita Carmen Cansino, better known as Rita Hayworth… or Gilda.
This is a tribute to an artist whom, at 90 years of age, keeps going on stage everyday to deliver his show. As his beloved poet Federico García Lorca once wrote: the sissy boys of the south sing on the rooftops; Gilda Love will carry on doing so.
