The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994)

Drags of Anarchy presents a unique Pride film with an introduction by ChelseaBoy, to get you in the mood for 'We Are Them' on 2 August! 

In the iconic nineties road movie 'The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert' two drag queens and a transgender woman embark on a journey across the Australian outback aboard their flamboyant bus, Priscilla. What begins as a performance gig evolves into a transformative road trip marked by prejudice and unexpected connections. Beneath the glitter lies a story of friendship, grief, and self-acceptance. As the landscape shifts, so do their relationships. Humor and vulnerability intertwine throughout. A vibrant and iconic exploration of identity and belonging.
