Frank Simon’s The Queen is a lightning in a bottle documentary that captures the pageantry around the 1967 Miss All-America Camp Beauty Contest. Made Pre-Stonewall during the height of the Vietnam War, the rise of gender-affirming surgeries and clinics in America, and nationwide racial tensions, drag legends like Flawless Sabrina and Crystal LaBeija serve as unforgettable figures, highlighting that the significance of these competitions are the furthest from superficial.
